Thanks for the help guys. A couple questions: I couldn't see a way to remove the pump after I took 2-10 out? Am I missing something there? It looks like the base is threaded but I was pretty sure I would tear it up trying to rotate it. I took the pumps to work with me because we have a...

Could you guys tell me how to bench test these fuel pumps. I am still trying to get my gen set back going after algae and tank contamination. I have took the tank off and cleaned it and I removed the pumps to clean but upon inspection they look really good. Screens are clean, but one did seem...

Is this what you guys are using?

In your guys opinion that have been down the road I'm on: Am I better off buying the $240 fuel tank and not trying to clean up the old one. I am still working outages so I'm not sure how bad the inside of my tank is, but I'll take some pics when I can.

yeah just let me know where to look or who to get ahold of. Sorry I just say @Ray70 - ill try to message him

Thanks for all the replies. It is really nice to talk to people that have forgotten more than I will know on things! When we get the power back on to everyone I will post pics of this fuel project and maybe you guys can help me some more. I think I am just going to take the tank off and start...

Your correction to my grammar is 100% accurate. My grandad had an old Allis HD21 (it is a beast - google it) and that thing would sit in the lean to for years between tasks. Fired up every time and never complained. These new fuels have cost millions in repairs and downtime.

Guyfang, Thanks for the help. Is there anything that a farmer is going to damage when taking the pumps apart for cleaning? I will consult the TM for location on the water/fuel separator. Did I have the theory right on the aux/pump? Should it have picked up the fuel in the diesel can and ran...

Hey guys - thanks for all your help. I am needing advice on getting my 002A running. Currently I work for a Rural Electric Cooperative and farm. My 002A doubles as a backup genset and also I run my welder off it for farm repairs. Right now we have 12,000 people out of power (including my...

Guyfang, About once per second. The aux pump position will rattle on like its trying to pump - although I could not get it to pull fuel from a container. Thanks!!

Just an update: just thought I would post a pic of a bush fix - if you guys need something fast. O'Rileys has a 24v lift pump for like $45 - that is 7psi. I hooked this up to get me out of a jam with the cattle - so I could weld the pen up. I am wanting to put the original pumps back - I'm...

Yes I have the TM - could not find anything about blowing air through, but used them for the screen cleaning procedure.

Hey guys - Thanks to everyone that always helps me on this site. I appreciate it really. My 200A is hooked up to a stick welder that I use on the farm for building pipe corrals and pipe fencing corners. Let me first say that I have neglected to keep the fuel fresh in this gen set and that is...

Thanks - I said binding - probably the movement and shifting that I am feeling/hearing -I'm sure she's built to take it - I just do not like to abuse my equipment if I can help it. I'll try and baby her.

Hey guys - I put a digger derrick on my M923A1 - 1984 vintage - before there was no problem with the rears binding - but now with the added weight of the unit - it's complaining in a turn on hard surfaces. Im guessing the unit at around 10,000 lbs. Is there any practical way to divide the...
