> [@FS/TRADE 1994 Grand Prix GTP Damaged](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-trade-1994-grand-prix-gtp-damaged/27274/11): > > good info. thanks. Im just making sure I do all of my homework first before I buy anything. Been searching around the diesel forums too as long as you have a good supplier for fuel you dont have to worry about the water separator, my best recommendation is to buy your fuel from the same place, so if you do have any problems you know where it is coming from. whenever you change a fuel filter put the contents of your old filter into a clear container and look at the water content, with good fuel you should never accumulate much water within regular filter change intervals. if you do see a good amount of water or experience running problems then change to a different provider. ---

well hes not a tech. Hes a sales rep. Basically he works with companies and helps them figure out what a good set up would be for what they need in there heavy duty trucks. But he does know a lot of people and Im sure he could point you in the right direction as far as a good tech. ---

And yeah I realize its gonna be inevitable once the motor is pushed so much most sources now are all against smoke because of the image it gives diesel, which is not a horrible thing, but you cant always believe them when they say what part you MUST use to make more power. chips/programmers are usually what they are most biased about, same with ‘cold air intakes’. they will also have mile long article telling you what exhaust is better when there isnt one that will make any more power than eliminating your cat/muffler and using the rest of your stock pipe ---
