I just swapped on a an electric lift pump for a 24v cummins, supposed to flow 71 gallons per hour, and 10 psi max, it's a lot better than the facet and edelbrock diesel fuel pumps for sure.. just drove the truck 1400 miles and it did ok.. the thing I like is it's probably available at a lot of parts stores..

My truck didn't have a good mechanical pump on it when I got it, so I just went to a e pump, the original filter head was gone as well.. I put 2 filters on the frame with the pump, as well as an inline filter before the pump..

Hi in the Cascades, Nearly- Redmond,Oregon
WMO is made out of dinosaurs too, lol.
LOL @Jesus Freak you forgot to list Lizards, Goffers, Gators, as well as our
Ancestors......The Monkeys that climbed thru the trees with LONG TAILS!!! LOL

Few yrs back I was straining some WMO to run in Bessie with her Holly Red.
I strained out couple of petrified MONKEY TAILS & couple LIZARD TAILS!!!!!
I should have saved them & posted them on SHOW & TELL!!!! LOL

& ON EDIT:
This is why I run a filter down on frame right after Bessie's FSV

The WMO I get is for free, so I try not to ask too many questions about what's in it. Ya know, you're not supposed to look in a gift horse's mouth. (For those that don't know, you can tell how old a horse is by looking at their teeth)

Hi in the Cascades, Nearly- Redmond,Oregon
Definitely coastal WMO, I'm looking for gold and silver myself.
@Jesus Freak ……Gold & Silver You looking for that shiny stuff, right?
I think I got you covered.
In my pic the Gold is out of sight, up hi on my boot top. Gold colored boot polish.

Silver….. how Silvery,,,,,or maybe it should be spelled Silvereee, or maybe just Shining or Shiny or Glistening…….
Well anyway, the Shining, Glistening, Silvery looking thing poking out my boot tip is my Shiny, Glistening, Silver looking BIG TOENAIL!!

Back towards the original topic….hahaha, LOL

Carter has been my choice for low pressure pumps for several years; my IDI and a few 460s.

If you look near the top of this album you will see the pumps I have used.

Why? My Idi will run off a 9v battery why would I want to ruin it with an electric fuel pump? The system was designed around a mechanical lift pump. It has worked great in my truck for 35years. Why any one wants to swap to an electric I don’t understand at all.
My 84 van came stock with an electric pump. At least three times I have driven several miles, at up to 50 MPH, with the IP pulling fuel thru a frame mounted Racor filter, and an electric pump that was not running.

That's crazy, talk about a IP that sucks!
