Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Well, I put that other breather on my tank. It was pissing gas all day today. When I got back to the truck I popped off the gas cap to look inside the tank to see if there was anything going on in there. To my surprise I heard some serious gurgling sounds! What the heck? Is my gas boiling? In 70 degree weather?

Yes it is. Shamefully close IMO.
Question for the collective, if I wrap the header with titanium wrap, should I spray the wrap with their coating? Also is the wrap going to be enough to reduce heat? The FMF has a longer mid pipe than the stock can. I should probably wrap that mid pipe too?
I think I should get some sheets of insulation and stick it on the tank.
Insulting the air box might not be a bad idea while I'm in there, either. That thing is uber close to the motor.

Cover all metal fuel fittings that will conduct engine heat with high temp silicone . This will help. The fuel will boil at these points.

From the DEI Website about the Titanium wrap:
NOTE: Design Engineering HT Silicone Coating spray is NOT recommended for DEI Titanium wrap.
The same is not true for some of the other types/colors they make.
How many feet of wrap do you think I need to do the whole header and mid pipe?

I get 50+mpg doing street and actually get better mileage on fire roads. I took the check valve off as it made a strange noise like a small animal in pain and just put the black hose onto the cap and routed into steering head.

After following advice here, and using the products Tinken posted links for in another thread, I ended wrapping the header with DEI Titanium Wrap, applying some DEI Cool Tape to the gas tank and putting on a Tusk header guard. Here's the final reslt:
No sure I like the OEM guard there. I have about half of the Tusk guard left. I cut it there because I couldn't get it to make the bend at the O2 sensor port. I might try to do something with the remaining section of Tusk guard.
