Ted, I found the heat shrink butt splices at Harbor Freight. I used one to reconnect the hot lead and re-installed the pump two days ago, using a 6 amp slo-blo fuse. So far the pump is running fine- I'll post up again if it quits. Thanks everybody for all your input.

Ted, that sounds perfect! Thank you very much- I'll let you know if I can't find them locally. Mark

I pulled the pump out and discovered the heat shrink tubing I used to cover the hot lead had softened and loosened up. Diesel could get to the soldered repair but it could not short to the braided cable. I'm not sure if that could have caused a short through the diesel but I need to cover it...

Most parts can be found at military suppliers such as Erik's military, Saturn Surplus, Memphis Equipment, TNJ Murray, Boyce Equipment and many others. Google "military surplus" ", "military suppliers", etc.

Come on out in July- you won't be too thrilled about the weather here then. But it's only for about 4 months. If you can legally buy a gun here, you can carry concealed without a permit. A permit used to be required but the law was recently changed. Anybody can buy a gun here if they pass the...

Stick, now is the time of year we love living in Az. I've heard of frost but haven't seen it in a while. lol! Rarely ever gets down to 40 here- gonna be 80 here today!

Dipstick, I did exactly the same thing to my deuce a couple of months ago. Used the same parts from Erik's! I just sanded the light bracket by hand, primed and painted it with rattle cans and it looks great- works great too! Small world eh?

Well, the new Fluke meter says there is 24 volts at the pump, and 12 volts at each battery. (Wow, digital read out is so much better than an analog scale!) Tomorrow I'll take the pump back out and see how it looks.

Ok, I'll check that also. Thanks!

Thanks Gimp- I'll start looking. 197 when I replaced the pump I discovered the braided cable that surrounds the hot lead grounded the pump to the holder. Do you think that is a sufficient ground?

Well, checked the voltage to the pump and came up with 20 volts. Checked the batteries and got 40 volts! What?! Time to retire my Micronta meter I bought at Radio Shack in 1977. Anybody know a good, inexpensive meter? Just need something for a homeowner- I'm not an engineer or anything.

Ok, Bob I'll check that tomorrow.

I only run diesel. I was considering going to a higher amp fuse but haven't because I'm not really sure what the fuse is actually protecting. (The pump, but from exactly what?)

2112, maybe some of us can get together while your here- may be tough with Christmas plans, etc. For those that will be here in late January our club is hosting a very large MV show in Peoria on 26-27 Jan 2013 and your all invited! Check us out at www.armytrucks.org for more information

Ok, we'll try to work something else out

I've searched through the threads but can't find anything that really covers my situation. I replaced the in-tank fuel pump seal as it was leaking. I re-installed the pump and it wouldn't start. I discovered the fuse had blown. I replaced it only to have it blow over and over. I remembered...

Gunfreak, if your gonna be here on Dec. 6, Our club is having our monthly meeting in downtown Phoenix. I'll bring my M35 and maybe we can get 5T to join us!

I usually attend the Phoenix parade also but if we can make it I would convoy over with Albert. Sounds like fun!

My pleasure!
