New to Diesels and new to me 2002 2wd. 115000 miles.
I've been studying the lift pump low preasure eat your injection pump issues.
I had thought I had an external lift pump but was corrected today and advised it was internal.
Rig works just fine as far as I can tell and I have no idea if the original lift pump has been changed since it is a used truck. I am getting ready to use it to haul some large trailers from Oregon.
So here is the real question and I guess it might apply for either internal or external stock lift pumps.
Can I just put an inline electric fuel pump on like a holly or a carter or any after market electric fuel pump and not have to pull the tank to remove or modify the in tank pump. Run them both using the external electrict fuel pump as an additional pusher pump with out causing any problems. Will it work if the internal pump goes bad - will it allow fuel to be sucked up and through the lines if the internal pump in not running?????
Any Ideas?? How about putting an additional inline fuel filter on - like one of the large gas FI type of filters will that help or hurt or do no good??? Any Ideas and any help appreciated.
