I picked up a cheap blaster and hit the pump housing with some glass beads.
Not perfect, but better than it was:
There were some areas that were pitted from corrosion. I filled the pits and smoothed things over with marine epoxy. After it hardened, i gave it a quick sanding with some 120...
Thanks for the advice. I'll start with vinegar and see how that goes.
My goal is to fit it onto a 500 gallon water wagon that the in-laws can use to haul water to cattle and maybe help put down the occasional brush fire. It's probably overkill for that, but we'll see how it goes. There was a...
So, what's the best way to deal with this corrosion?
Guessing that might vary a bit based on materials. According to the manual there's a bit of a variety:

Pump body

Inboard head

On the bright side, once the impeller came loose, the engine (Yanmar L100) freely turned. The air and oil filters looked good, compression felt good, so I added fresh oil and a little fuel, then primed it 10 pulls while holding the decompression lever. After that the engine started on the...
I bought this water pump in unknown condition. When I finally received it, I found it was seized up. There was a lot of corrosion on the impeller that was visible by removing the cap from the inlet port. I'm guessing it was used with salt water and put away wet.
The tag on the pump is hard...
Here is some part number info for the injection metering pumps for the Lister-Petter LPW2 & LPW4 (aka Cummins Onan DN2M & DN4M):

Here's a picture of the guts of the Stanadyne version:
There are at least 2 different manufacturers that make these metering pumps with similar but slightly different designs.
Do both of yours have the same part # stamped on them? I can't quite tell from the pictures.
Are the batteries fully charged?
I don't have anything larger than an 803 personally, but I've read where low batteries that can cause problems with the electronics in the 805B/806B.
My preferred fitting is the Ace Roto-Mold 10897, which is a 1/4" brass bulkhead fitting with a groove and a viton o-ring. I've got them from tank-depot.com in the past, but they're occasionally available on Amazon, too. Never had a tank leak since I started using these.
I went with 50 amp plugs & receptacles for price and availability. I used the money saved from pin & sleeve to get heavier wire where it would fit: 4 gauge instead of 6 gauge, Type-W instead of SOOW. It's not perfect, but it gives me some piece of mind.
I think the filter base is very similar to the Donaldson P560382. The main difference I see is the location of the bleeder screw.
I put one of them on a custom trailer because it used the same filters as my 803.
You can probably find them cheaper if you shop around...
Alex, I had a stuck metering pump a while back. Here are some pictures from when I had it apart to clean it. See post #21. It wasn't the same problem you're having, but might be helpful if you end up cleaning your metering pump.
