wmo & fuel pumps

[tractorman86]

so, its been awhile since I've been on here has anybody figured out the best electric fuel pump to run while you're burning waste motor oil? I'm in a situation where I am currently using my idi as a daily driver again and the Holley fuel pump is going out again as I knew it would... any help is always appreciated

Don't know if its the best but the Carrier pump works pretty good, but some had problems with high blends, above 90%.
I went to a 75% mix(wmo 75-25 other), just to be safe, but I haven't been using wmo for a while, rebuilding right now.

The one I am running for wvo is made by wvo designs. Made specifically for wvo, so I would imagine it could handle wmo also. It's a spendy SOB though, but it has a lifetime warranty.

Search raw power pump by wvo designs. If you have it in your budget I would recommend it

The two downfalls are pressure and price. It puts out a minimum of 15 psi and the price as far as I have seen is just shy of 500 bucks.

I've had the big mr.gasket 95gph for 14k miles now with no troubles up to 85%. About $100 from advance auto, summit has them too about the same price.

Wow! well that pump looks great but that would be just a little bit out of my price range lol. I was hoping to find something in or below the two hundred range

What problems are you having with the Holley Red? When you say "going out", can you explain? I've burned a ton of WMO (around 50,000 miles worth @ 50 : 50 mix) and I'm still using the same Holley Red. Not saying it's the best pump, simply that I've had no problems.

I've always had trouble getting a consistent pressure with it and this is my third time replacing it in about 4 or 5 years and my truck out of those four or 5 years has probably sat for at least a whole year. but looking through summit I did find out that Mallory makes a gear pump that I think I'm going to try

I found this one on Amazon last night for $175 with free shipping. I think I'm going to give it a shot. oh, and catbird7 I guess I never answered your question, the problem I've been having is the pump wears out and let's diesel into the electric motor and fries the whole thing

Is that the gear one you mentioned?

 

[tractorman86]

Yes

 

[FarmerFrank]

Ill let you be the test dummy since I don't need one. IMO a gear pump is far superior in longevity.

Carter 804070. Excellent pump for viscous oils. I take new ones apart, and take the prefilter screen out and run a real filter in front of them. They run on the same concept as power steering pumps and work well with diesel/oils

I run the Carter pump above. I have ran for a few days on close to 100%, only because I forgot to put some diesel in the tank when I put the wmo in.

Is that the one that was in the group buy? Did a google search and didn't find it

 

[eastsideauto]

It's actually a Carter 84070
