    That seems strange. Lots of people swear by this one.

    I started using these based on comments on this forum. I'm ashamed to admit, however, that I did not do a before/after production test. Guess I've got something to do next week. I'll report my findings here.
    1991 Plymouth Acclaim 3L V6.
    1 dry cells with nineteen 6"x8" 316L ss plates, driven by constant current PWM set at 35 amps (13.3V at PWM). 28% KOH electrolyte. Total measured output 2.5 lpm. Mileage went from 18 to 26 mpg, all city driving (44% increase). EFIE set at .370 and I still need to play with ignition timing.

    I use them and yes a little pressure builds up but so what, you still get the same output. The gas does not just magically go away after it builds up pressure. If you are losing output it would seem to me that you have a bubbler that cannot handle the pressure and has a leak. Find me an arrestor that works, and does not inhibit flow. I have to disagree, these arrestors kick butt, especially for the money!

    I have to agree. flash back arrestors are a must , unfortunatly pressure builds up... up-stream of them. Any leaks in your set-up will force the gas out before the arrestor. If your system is leak proof total volume of gas will not change.

    ...I'll add to that the vacuum from the engine will far offset the small restriction of this arrestor, as well as your production.
    I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

    Don't hook the system up to any vacuum source!

    Even the intake port creates vacuum. I suppose I should have rephrased. Unless you've got a turbo, the air isn't pushed in there!

    Shouldn't be hooked up to the intake either. It should go between the throttle body and air cleaner.
