Would this work as a lift pump for a M1008/9?

I want to put an electric pump in mine and looking for a cheap way to do it.

Also is it self priming?

As I recall, they made an electric pump for the 6.2/6.5 motors. I think it started in 93 or 94. Its an inline pump, all you need to do is cut the line and splice it in.(and bypass the mech. pump.) shouldn't be that expensive, I'd guess around $60 or so.

If it has the volume/pressure it should work OK (some pumps for heater or stove assys don't need to flow a lot of fuel). Place as close to the tank as possible 'cause electric pumps like to push better than pull. If it's for automotive apps. it should self-prime with no problem.

The OEM electric pump is a Carter. They run $100+. I can't remember if it is self priming or not.

I thought someone might know the PSI / GPH of this pump. I would think it should work but I wanted to be sure. I should also ask if it is 24v or 12v as I'm changing mine to 12v.

Mebe I should ask in the big truck forum
