Am I Impatient or is it More?

[nyteshades]

I have both, SO THERE.

I'm curious as to how did you set this up? I'd like to add an epump to prime with.

 

[idi traveler]

After the past Month I've been thinking along the line of installing a epump for priming. Ten minutes ago I found out the Hard line to the fuel pump had a 10 second drip while running. And enough air bleeding the system down in 10 minutes, Not now. But I might still install a priming epump.

What was funny was that the leak was only on the tank with diesel, but not with the WMO tank.

I might have to add the e-pump to mine too after this whole mess! Need to get it running first!

Oh yeah, where can I get the square cut o-rings for the line going to the IP?

Thanks!

IH dealer only.
the only one left in the SF Bay area is the one in Hayward.
whereabouts are you at?

 

[bghnkinf350]

I am over near Burlingame, did Bayshore International go under?

I have one of these inline on the frame rail, the mechanical will pull thru it no problem, you have to have this part number as it has 3/8 pipe threads not 1/8 which will not flow enough.

bayshore in san mateo is no more.
they're across the bay now.
they went from six stores down to one this last year.

 

[towcat]

if you can make it down to the SJC area, i have a couple of feed lines from the filter to the pump you can choose from.

 

[bghnkinf350]

I might just have to make the trip next week if it is okay.....

 

[towcat]

drop me a pm when you're ready to drive down here.

 

[bghnkinf350]

Sounds great Towcat, thanks!

Okay, So I went outside and messed with the truck some more. My glow plugs were wasted apparently, so I replaced them - no change. I took off the return line off the top of the IP, and found fuel spurting out of my injection pump when I cranked the engine - is this normal, or could this be my problem?

 

[icanfixall]

No... Fuel must leave the injection pump when the fuel solenoid is open and the engine is cranking. When the solenoid is closed the engine shuts down... Thats how we kill these engines. Remember... No spark plugs so there is no ignition system to deal with... To make out engines a dooms day engine we need a manual fuel shutoff setup and an air guillotine valce to cut off air to the intake manifold... If we have a manusl fuel shutoff these engines can be bump started and run without any electrical power to run anything on the engine... Us with auto trans are sol....

Okay, thanks, so what would likely be my next course of action? Is there anything I could have overlooked, or am I looking at a new IP?
