Re: Source for Type DB and JHE Bijur metering units (drip plugs)?

Gene,
That is pretty much what I did to clean up my fittings. I just talked to Bruce Blevins, and he said the following test will tell you if the unit is still operating correctly:
1) Find a source of 5 psi air.
2) Connect tube from air source to narrow extension from fitting (the end that goes into the oil supply line).
3) Submerge the larger end (where oil should come out to lubricate the chassis component) of the fitting in water.
4) Turn on air and observe.
If the metering unit is working properly, you should get a little bubble of air coming from the large end of the fitting every second or so: bubble ...... bubble ..... etc.
Anything else, and the unit should be replaced. Bruce does have new metering units.
I thought this was a good piece of information, and one I have not seen posted elsewhere.
Cheers,
Tom
