Questions about the deuce fuel system

[Lonesome715]

Thanks, I will find a place to get that stuff around here.

Bench testing the pump was going to be my next questions. I am assuming I hook it to tow batteries to see if it will engage, correct?

 

[frodobaggins]

Yep, apply 24v.

The next time I am able to work on it, that will be done. I hope to **** it works.

 

[Emmett]

Good luck!

 

[Lonesome715]

It looks like I will get the lift pump bench tested tomorrow. If it works I will clean it up real nice. Then I will start adressing the parts further up the fuel line. I am worried about the IP and injectors.

Have you pulled the secondary and final fuel filters. They will help to tell part of the story by how much crud is in them. Hopefully they are all installed correctly and would have trapped most of the crud and not let it pass to the ip.

 

[Lonesome715]

I pulled the the first filter in the system but I have not taken the housing apart yet. I plan to get the others off soon.

 

[Lonesome715]

I just pulled the filters. They are nasty inside. The housing are coated in rust or what ever that gunk is. Now I am really worried about the IP and injectors.

 

[Lonesome715]

I just pulled and cleaned the tops of the filter housings so they are ready to re-install. I plan to wait until I can get the new spin on filters. I also blasted water through the main and return lines. Then blew them out with compressed air. I got a bunch of crap out of the lines.

Is there anything I can do with the IP and injectors at thee stage I am at now. Also, when I hook everything else back up is theere anything I should do besides pooring in the ani-algea stuff?

 

[Emmett]

Dunno, If the IP is messed up, I don't think there is anything you can do to screw it up worse.
Taking the head off might be a good idea depending on your mechanical skills. There are several threads about the IP overhaul.

 

[Lonesome715]

I'll have to locate those. I would like to look inside this thing at least.

What's the latest ?

 

[Lonesome715]

I have had the tank cleaned by a shop in town, I have cleaned out the fuel lines, I made new injector lines to replace the ones that were missing, and I pulled all the filter housing and cleaned them real well. A cash flow problem and my work schedule has prevented further completion. That tank ended up costing a lot more to have cleaned than I orginally thought. I would have rather found another one in better shape had I known. I plan to work a few special details to get the money I need fo Jatonka's spin on kit.

 

[DieselBob]

Nice to hear of the progress

That tank ended up costing a lot more to have cleaned than I orginally thought.

I know that feeling. Have been to 3 local shops and the cheap one wants $200 bucks to tank it. Business must be pretty good these days. I could add another $150 or so and get a new tank.

 

[Lonesome715]

I had to shell out $200 for a job I htought would cost half that.

 

[Lonesome715]

Where can I get just the gaskets for my fuel pumpe and sending unit?

 

[sparepartsracing]

wow man this is crazy, ive never seen diesel get like that before. going to drive mine around tomorrow in fear of this has been sitting for about 2-3 months

 

[Lonesome715]

I think this one set for a lot longer.
