I've checked, they only other way I've read to check is buy pumping pressure through a hole in a spare filler cap. Being that my tank has a leak, I don't think that will work until I swap in the new tank a sending unit.
Looking for a spare 3/8 hose now to hook up the the pump supply from the...
Found this, but it's mostly known.
The only trick I haven't tried is to run my lift pump directly from a 5 gal diesel can.
I'm going to the part store here shortly get a can for diesel, and giving it a go.
From what I read if she runs, it's getting air in the system on the suction side "before...
Oh great.
When I popped my 6.2, I just swapped everything over to this 6.5TD, it was super cheap and reasonable close.
I knew I should have just bought a new one while I was at it.
Will do. So I'm leaning towards putting in a new lift pump in tomorrow as well. That is if any of the local parts stores have one.
The is my first diesel, I'm just trying to figure this thing out. Simple by design for sure. Yet a sbc will run with the fuel the "lift pump" is putting out.
Yes, my filters are fine.
I just finished installing 6" brake line with fittings as the parts store guy told me to try.
Opened the bleeder and she fired up spewing diesel everywhere until I could close the valve.
She shutdown after a min, so no difference.
But ever since I changed the ignition...
Thanks, yes I did notice the threads are chewed a little.
I bought a 6" strait piece and was just heading out the door to swap it out. Wish me luck, I'd rather keep it all mechanical.
No answers, I put a o ring in there to no prevail. So I'm guessing it's the stock lift pump. If that is the case I will be upgrading to an electric one, and just reinstall the turbo oil drain
Hey oliveyj, how did you plum the fuel lines?
I just did the same swap, my 6.5 is out of a 93 so it's already mechanical, I did however swap the return line on the front of the block, and used everything I could off the 6.2.
I blocked off the main return line now that I'm thinking about it...
Noticed that the threaded line going into the lift pump was a little wet. Disconnected it, and noticed there wasn't an O ring, should there be one there?
I thought it was good, with the amount of fuel that I get when I purge the canister.
Is there another method to check the lift pump? Besides trying a new one
I'm getting fuel that's what's got me puzzled.
About 10 months ago my fuel tank leaked all over my driveway after filling it. It stop after a few days, but shortly after that, the 6.2 popped on my way to work.
Fast forward, I have since been way to busy to mess with it until now during my lay off season.
Since then I dropped in a new...
