fuel pump

[madmachinistm1a1]

Whats a good price for the in- tank pump for the duece. Need one to get the project going. Seen them for $250 or so thought thats a little steep. Outher option is a 24V in line pump that delivers 14-16 gals. per hour for $75. Would rather keep it original, so if anybody's got an extra one let me know.

Unless you can find a good used one, they are 225 from the manufacturer. I know alot of guys buy the inline pumps for $75 and use them instead.

I would be willing to spend the money for a brand new one over a used pull out . Where could I get a new one, I didnt realize this option.

Welcome to the site madmachinistm1a1. Is the pump motor not running or is the motor running and no flow. The pump has a habit of the bottom falling off which causes it to run but no fuel output. This can be fix most of the time by reassembling the bottom and using small screws or safety wire to keep it from coming apart.

There is also a fuse in the pump unit that will deadline it if blown. You have to get a slow blow fuse from NAPA or the like.

They are not cheap.....I paid a couple of bucks each but bought a bunch of them.

Stupid question,prolly,but whats the need for a "slow blow" fuse?Frankly I've never even heard of such an animal. Oh and what amperage too?

 

[wreckerman893]

I disremember the amperage...prob in the TM.....in a slow blow fuse the filiment is thicker so that a surge will not blow it unless
it gets too extreme. If my son had not repoed his digital I would post some pics of them.

They do not have a clear glass body....looks like some sort of ceramic material.

I got mine from NAPA.

Stock is 3 amp, I use a 5 cause of "my fuel". The slow blow fuses allow a larger influx of current at start up. So say it takes 8amp to start but 4 amp to run, you are good to go. If it stays at 8 amp for too long, it blows.
