Deuce fuel pump question

[digitaldust]

My fuel pump in my deuce tank is dead . would a 24v electric be killed by WMO faster then the standard sump pump type that cam with the truck ?

I have toasted 12v inline pumps with just a few hrs of W V O pumping tank to tank transfers.

If the WMO wasn't cut with diesel or gas and the temps have been low then it could fail sooner pumping WMO.

The fuel pumps are designed to pump a lower viscosity liquid like diesel. Pumping a higher viscosity fluid can shorten their service life.

And the submersible has a rather powerful motor to handle that sort of thing. Much stronger then the in-line pumps.

There is no connection between the pump and the motor. It is magnetic.
I think one of the keys to keeping these things alive with WMO is keeping the pump motor cool.
The pump has to work harder with WMO, which makes more heat. More heat makes the WMO a lower viscosity fuel.
On a side note.
I did a partial clean of my tank yesterday and found the bottom of 2 pumps in it.

Maybe fix the pump and then take out the fuse and see how much or any performance is lost. Then put the fuse back in when you need to bleed the system after filter change.

is that not harder on the IP having to pull fuel from the tank ?
On a side note a shop for injector pumps said IP does not pull fuel ?
that is why there is a lift pump.

what do i know I'm just the owner .......

Is your truck running now?
