I put about 15miles on the truck today going into town and back for fuel. Ran great! One happy MV owner as of now!

Yeah my Airtex was pulling through a “custom” pickup screen, very open and non restrictive. If the product was changed like the spec sheet I have found, this is definitely an issue. The “older” e8131’s wouldn’t be an issue like must threads out there if they did in fact flow upwards of 35GPH...

Took the truck on about a 5mile crusie and then another 20 or so minutes driving around our property. Roughly 25 degrees outside and not even a hiccup. As of now, I’m calling it FIXED!

I stayed out of the garage, I kept warm in the man cave tonight lol, way to cold out!

I’m questioning going out to the garage to fire up the truck tonight, not because I don’t think it’ll start, it’s because it’s only -1 outside at only 7:36pm, AND my truck did NOT come with a heater when I bought it HAHA.(Which reminds me, I need to find a cheap one lol)

I removed the original dead pump initially when installed my in line pump, so it has been out for awhile. I had made a custom fuel pick up inside the tank, all that is still good. I updated an old post, but here it is again… Here is my current fuel setup… Tank -> pick up tube -> wix...

Here’s a summary… I’ll begin by saying my truck was stalling about every 1mins-4mins. I noticed on my secondary fuel pressure gauge that I was losing fuel pressure causing it to stall. To me the truck was starving for fuel. I had changed filters a handful of times with no luck. I decided to...

As of last night it was running great, even at 10 degrees outside haha By the time I let it warm up, then cruising around our farm field’s, to taking it around the block, it was a solid 35-40mins of run time, never once a hiccup. The longest it would ever run good before, was about 1-4 mins then...

First update, new pump is in, holding pressure at 50 while idle…fingers crossed… https://youtube.com/shorts/7E0tytcxvr4?feature=share Final Update…

I am now thinking the pump may be the issue. I have found two sources for info on the Airtex E8131. A 2016 publication on their site states 10-14 psi and 35GPH. Now their site with an updated 2022 publication states 9-14psi and 20GPH. hmmm. I have a new Carter pump coming to try out. 6-8psi...

Well I installed the AMBAC kit and unfortunately it didn’t help. I’ll check all three valves again. Hard for me to believe that two boost pumps have the same issues, possible, but hard to imagine both are bad. I used a normal fuel resistant gasket type sealer. I barely even put a film on. I...

Negative. Still lost pressure after a few minutes of running. It would stay running while idling with zero pressure and die with the slightest throttle increase. Inline pump took about 45secs to regain prime. During this time it took to prime, I also had the bleeder on top of my secondaries...

Got a chance about 15mins ago to put the newly “rebuilt” boost pump on, I used AMBAC kt9062 like mentioned above. I was given two fiber washers in my pack. Did I get lucky? Or is there another one hiding somewhere?? Haha Getting ready to fire the truck up in a few minutes.

So last night I pulled apart my original boost pump that I removed from the truck. There was NO fiber washer/gasket inside between the plug and valve, or anywhere for that matter. Im guessing those disintegrate over time? The o-ring on the piston plug was there and intact. Today is in the upper...

Tank was removed. Filled and rinsed probably a dozen times. Then Acid washed(Muriatic). Air/heat dried. Shop vac’d any dust. Then lined, and rolled on garage floor. Cleaning process took about a week. Liner was done in one evening. Liner left to dry for 2wks.

I contacted Seco, I have a rebuild kit headed to the house.

POR does have a Rust remover line of product as well

Here’s what I used…

I found the Ambac part# KT9062. But can’t seem to locate any.

Also, do you know which TM would include this info or break down? Thanks!
