    Testing Aux Fuel Pump Operation

    A light wouldnt help. The purpose of the pump is to transfer fuel and to start/stop at a specific fuel tank level. The only way to really properly test this is to do what the OP did. Adding a light would only tell you that power is applied to the pump. Not that the pump is actualy pumping or...

    Sea foam in fuel system

    For adding lubricity back into ULSD i use 2 stroke oil. I believe about 1oz per gallon. The cheap walmart super- tech stuff is good enough as long as its TC W3 rated.

    Taking the air filter out can actualy help on the hardest ones. Most of the rest have captured nuts. A bit of never seeze can really help down the road if your in a damp climate.

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    Yes take the top cover off.. how hard is it? Its a bunch of bolts with a 5/16 head. Unless you like working with a mirror and tiny plyers its alot easier to pull a fiew pannels.

    Sea foam in fuel system

    Your in NJ? Use a anti algee and mabe some anti gell if you see temps below 15* or fill it up in the summer. Seafoam is for gas engines and prob more for fixing a problem than keeping fuel fresh.
