cummins 12 valve wmo lift pump upgrage?

[Joe Blow]

I'm currently running 80/20 wmo/rug. I filter to 1 micron before it goes into my truck but I would like to add a 1 mic filter before my injection pump, but the 1st gen lift pump is terrible even pushing trough a 7 mic. What electric lift pump is a good upgrade? Thanks.

Depends how much pressure and flow you need.
I know a lot like the fass setups. Just pricey.

This is what I run...

Its a low pressure pump for the VE (I run the 15psi version) but its a high volume piston pump. Its a bolt on kit.

Personally, I would avoid electric pumps for WMO... the piston pump is probably the best bet.

I ran the low pressure piston pump for 1 day and it blew out my front iP seal and filled my crank case with oil and gas for me. Lol took it off and been to nervous to try it again. The reason I want electric is because nothing on my truck is electric except lights and cooling fans and my tach runs off the alternator and gets no signal unless my lights and fans are on. I tried the crank trigger and it burned up due to the irradic voltage. Built capacitor/resistor added voltage protection and still burnt another one up. So I went to using the alternator, but the number of poles is wrong so I run it through a 7018 frequency divider ic chip wired to divide by 4. It's powered by a 9v battery for isolation from the violent spikes the non loaded alternator makes.

Which piston pump did you get?

The standard lift pump for the ve should put out around 12psi (which they offer aswell).

There were quite a few being sold as "low pressure" pumps but what people were finding out is that they were just stock replacement pumps for the p-pump and were pushing north of 30psi.

When I had my IP off last time, I replaced the front seal and installed it with red loc-tite. Its worked great thus far.

Well according to the part number I checked, double checked and checked again, had someone else double check as well, asked the company I ordered it from. It was supposed to be the low pressure piston pump for the ve ip. But my luck is lousy.

Why not electric lift pump for wmo gas blend? What I run I check the specific gravity and add gasoline until it's diesel spec .85

From my understanding, its just ******* them. Ive never ran one basically because I could get the piston pump cheaper then a quality electric pump... and they are known to pump just about anything. Perhaps others with e-pump experience will chime in.

 

[Joe Blow]

Cool I know the piston pumps are bullet proof. I wouldn't be disappointed if it would have not blew my seal lol

******** must have sent me the wrong one

If you already have everything to mount the piston pump, call up the guys at TheHungryDiesel and the will sell just the pump. The pump they sell is a modified high pressure pump which runs a larger piston and uses custom regulator springs to set fuel pressure.

You can also tell them your concerns and I'm sure they can get you taken care of.

Good guys for sure.

Yea I think I will give em a call and see if they can help. Thanks much buddy. Ps love your signature 4b swap

I run a mr gasket 105 gph pump. So far it's been ok. Did have one burn up but It pulled a lot of thick fuel from my back tank and put it through a 2 mic cat filter. Doesn't help either they are factory set for about 7psi and I add a pen spring to get it closer to 12. Seems to help volume loss on long hard pulls. And they are meant for RUG. they are about $110 from advance auto
