SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Welcome to the 

AirDog

®

 Heavy Duty Industrial

Fuel Air Separation System for Class 8 Trucks

The AirDog

®

, with ADVANCED FUEL AIR SEPARATION, DEMAND FLOW, ADJUSTABLE 

REGULATOR, LOW PRESSURE SENSOR with LED INDICATOR and the 4G-HD FUEL 

PUMP, is a premium fuel filtration and delivery system for the Detroit Diesel Series 60

®

 engine, 

model years 2003 thru 2009.

S

pecifically, if the fuel pressure/flow to the injector, even with entrained air and vapor 

removed, is insufficient to totally fill the injector barrel on the up stroke of the plunger, a void 

or low pressure will form that allows vapor to re-form within the injector. The result, “injector 

lag”, is just another name for “delayed injection timing”. No matter what term is used, it leaves 

the engine with increased fuel consumption, lost power, and increased exhaust emissions.

The Detroit Diesel Series 60

®

 engine, model years 2003 thru 2009, utilizes “FOR-SEAL” fittings 

with steel lines on the high pressure side of the transfer pump. These fittings have small passageways 

and are restrictive to the fuel flow to the engine. To maximize the efficiency of the 2003 THRU 2009 

Series 60

®

 engine, it is necessary to replace the restrictive fuel fittings and lines with the larger and 

less restrictive lines & fittings. 

The 

“UPGRADE” kit is NOT included

 with the Detroit installation kit, although the complete 

and detailed instructions are included.
