Advance Auto near me has one for $55.

i had one on my tractor and it was enough to keep up with a 16hp engine. honestly, i really don't think it would have the flow or power for what we need. that is just my experience with them i could be wrong.

side note, 100 micron filter is hardly enough, maybe a pre filter, a good stock fuel filter should go down to the 6 mic range.

I saw the same pump for $35, also don't use it for an IDI.

I've been thinking about one of those to plumb in front of my Carrier pump I got from Gen Lightning. I have found myself climbing hills loaded with less power and smoke than I think I should have with a new ip.
It says 35 gph, does anyone know what our idi's can consume?

That pump is a POS.
I use this one.

use the 40109,it has 3/8npt threads. mine works awesome and you can draw thru it if you leave the mechanical on.

here is a good spec sheet, the one on the other site is generic, the price is excellent though.

I worked at O'reilly auto parts through college and i saw at least 300-400 (mr-gasket) of those thing come in for replacement. bad thing is its only a 90 day warranty. i would go with E8153 its made by airtex and has a one year warranty. its a diesel pump flows 10-14 PSI at 35 GPH if my memory is correct. plus it was like 34.99 retail. just another option. ill see if i can link the spec sheet.

i tried those airtex pumps and they wouldent flow enough when the weather got cold for my motor. ok in the summertime but i need more than that.

 

[oldmisterbill]

I had an airtex pump to transfer my fuel from the 100 gal tank to my front tank.In Minnisota one subzero night it wouldn't pump the thick fuel(not gelled-I use Howes in a heavier than reccomanded dose in the winter)nothing open running low on fuel in my regular tanks-100 gals in my in the bed tank-and I was running out of fuel!! Iused a syphon hose.Bull S&&&T

Good to know if i travel. i havent had any problems in the cold but i live like an hour from the coast. it rarely gets below freezing maybe half dozen times a year.

You would have to run a 100 MPH for a 100 miles and only get 2.85 MPG to use more than the pump would supply.
It don't say at what temp it will deliver that 35 GPH.

side note, 100 micron filter is hardly enough, maybe a pre filter, a good stock fuel filter should go down to the 6 mic range.

That's only to protect the pump, but you better have a damn good clean fuel tank, or you'd be changing the filter every 20 miles.

I've never had any luck with those solenoid style pumps on a diesel, they just don't last.
Yet again, I will reccomend what I have run for years on my truck, and many other diesel applications, A carter rotary vane pump, P4070 is what I have on my truck, 4-6 psi, self regulating, 72 gph, WET motor, so no shaft seals to go bad. P4594 is the 6-8 psi version. The GP4389 is Diesel/Marine rated, 4-6 psi, but, it's $112 vs $72, and nothing really leads me to believe it's any different than the 4070 other than it comes with less stuff.
The things are bulletproof, and I'm not just saying that because the one on my truck has been good, I'm saying that because that's pretty much the standard fix for every diesel with a dead lift pump around here, I have worked on lots of trucks and equipment with them installed, and they plain old work.

i agree, nothing against the holley pumps but the carter pumps have a much better mounting system and in my opinion was a better pump. unfortunatly mine burnt out and i put in a holley blue in a pinch but would like to switch back to a carter sometime.

If anybody has a carter that is coming to the rally, I'd like to see one.

what about this carter pump? http://www.jegs.com/i/Carter/180/P4594/10002/-1#
its the same price as the 4070 but a little higher pressure. What does our stock lift pump psi and gph output?

It runs about 7psi at max rpm and 30gph, with some of that going back into the return lines. Normal working pressure is 3-7psi.
