A thousand thanks. Ordering today.

I pulled my in-tank pump and tested it on the bench...sticking and stopping, does not run for more than a second or two. Tried the tap-tap approach with a wee hammer...no joy. Sometime back I installed an in-line pump atop the tank, but for some reason it would not lift. There are replacement...

Thanks! Have never done anything electrical with the truck, save batteries stuff. I shall check that first thing tamale. It's tamale. ~28v when hot in the plug is used with a ground to the batteries. Time to see if I can follow the ground. Might be expeditious to simply clip the ground...

That's what is on mine...just changed the screws to ss yesterday.

Pulled the in-tank again; tank bottom is clean and relatively shiny; whitish crud starts about 6" up the sides. Got the Facet pump primed and pumping from a can of fuel and was able to bleed through the secondary filters; had significant return flow to the tank. Re-connected it to the in-tank...

Sarge, I have been thinking about that, but I certainly would like to be able to figure out why I am not seeing 24 volts in the plug for the in-tank p;ump. I'm thinking about pressuring up the tank, but am uncertain as to how much pressure it will sustain. Hate to pop a leak!

I have yet to try the Facet pump with filled intake tubing. The thought of having to go into the hydraulic head is less than comforting, as my expertise is less than robust, shall we say, and my current physical setup is less than ideal for working under the hood. I'd really like to resolve...

I found external pump info in another thread and followed it up, but it seems better to stay in this thread since I started it. The following is a summary of where I am to date. The Facet 41050 pump I hooked up has 3/8 npt fittings and it was easy to find compression fittings that enabled me...

The Facet 41050 pump I put on has 3/8 npt fittings and it ws easy to find compression fittings that enabled me to put it in line. Getting the tubing fit between the tank fitting and the pump took the most time. I mounted the pjump to a piece of plywood with a strip of foam epoxied to the...

Slick.

Yet another useful thread! I note on the pics you provided earlier that the pump wires appear to feed into the original plug. Guessing you put pin connectors on the wires and simply plugged 'em in. I like that idea because it conserves the plug, but how did you determine which wire went into...

How might I do this...just skip the prime step in the start sequence? I see no shutoff in the fuel line. Wouldn't turning it over without fuel necessitate a subsequent bleed of the fuel system?

I'm on it...saying a rosary re ground metal dust!!

Again, thanks. This sounds like a plan. The 003 has a pair of mounts on each side; all are shipshape and tight; nothing under the bell housing that could account for anything. TM5-6115-585-24P, Figure 27 shows 4 pairs of bolts; I can see only 4-5 bolts, and they appear to be very clean and...

Gentlemen, A thousand thanks/vielen dankes for the responses. I fired it up a couple of minutes ago and held the start switch for 15-20 seconds to ensure the engine would continue to run. Again, only a bit of smoke from the near exhaust on startup; fan end did the usual smoke on startup and...
