i know they arent rated for diesel but, is diesel realy harder on stuff then gas? i run 2 stroke oil in my fuel also, maybe that would help...

why not just get a ppe or edelbrock 1792 pump and be done with it. I hate spending money twice for something. They're only a little bit more and they are designed to work for our application.

ppe is 279.99

I dunno if you can use that pump with diesel??

smokinchevy
01-08-2009, 07:41 PM
i dont think your supposed to use any of them with diesel, which is why i posted a thread about it. is diesel really harder on a pump then gas, or is it just made out that way so diesel "lift pumps" can be priced much higher?

HeavyHD
01-08-2009, 07:44 PM
Well if you dont have the money to spend on a pump at the moment that is compatible with diesel fuel Id keep saving a little while longer. I had a holley pump and it left me stranded one night not to long ago on the side of the road. Calling the tow truck in -4 temperatures at 2:30am and paying a $175 dollar tow bill wasnt a very good feeling.

bamfm7
01-08-2009, 07:52 PM
Yes, they will work just fine, I ran a holley blue pump (15psi) on mine. I was even using it to pump vegetable oil, the only problem I had was in the cold up here in MN. So it should work fine unless it starts to freeze down there, Id go for the $50 elcheeepo one

smokinchevy
01-08-2009, 08:14 PM
well, thats 2 people that use gas pumps with good results... good enough for me, i might as well try it out for $50. i think im gonna try to make a bypass setup with some fittings and a check valve as well, so a broken pump wont leave me stranded / i wont have excessive fuel pressure on my economy tune.

duramaxxin73
01-08-2009, 08:28 PM
I agree with HeavyHD, wait and save so you can buy a better pump. Its not fun doing something twice on these trucks.

01-08-2009, 08:41 PM
the summit, trick flow, and pro comp(ebay) all look EXACTLY the same... i think they're just re badged pro comps. im gonna try the eBay cheapo out, and if it fails, then il get a higher quality lift pump. it will hold me over until i can afford a nice one.

SteveFord
01-08-2009, 08:59 PM
If your worried about being left stranded then but a bypass with a check valve. I put a swing check valve in mine. It's all brass and you can find them in about any plumbing department. I got two 1/2 inch thread to 1/2 inch barb hose fittings to screw into the check valve. Cost is about $10 for all three parts. I ran a carter pump hp4600 for a year and put 25,000 miles on it and the only reason it's shot is my truck gelled up and I didn't have it hooked to my hobs switch and it burned up running pretty much all day with 911 and another addiative to keep it running. I bypassed my hobs switch for about 7 months so it ran all the time with alot of ideling. I myself just bought a pro comp 140gph 9-14psi pump for $60 to my door. I thought what the hell I'll try it as it flows 120gph at 9psi which is what it's set at when you get it. I hooked everything back up to my hobs switch so it will only run when my truck see 12psi of boost or more and shuts back off at anything below it. I feel there is no need to run any electric motor pump all the time as it will eventually wear out.

smokinchevy
01-08-2009, 09:30 PM
yea, the bypass setup sounds like a good idea. i plan on just running it on a toggle switch.

i was thinking, dsp5 programing allows an output doesn't it? could i run it off that?

SteveFord
01-08-2009, 09:33 PM
I wouldn't know about the dsp5 switch as lbz can't have them:mad: Yeah just put the bypass in and no worries on ever getting stalled from a lift pump going bad.

Thats a carter pump or it's made by carter as they are identical. I belive if its a replacement for the stock one on the Dodges it moves only 75 or so gph.

I tried one of those holley pumps, lasted about three weeks and siezed up. I don't know what the diesel does to them but they will not work with diesel.

If those Holley are rated for Marine Service diesel included that's sick if they crap out that fast from Low Sulpher fuel used on road. The hi sulpher fuel use to work in them good in boats. I sure would be mad at Holley if my boat quit with that junk in it.

I have had two edelbrocks and one PPE right now I have a 6.5L pump and I think its about to go out on me can't hold more then 3 psi of pressure. I am saving up to get a airdog raptor pump. Wish I would of just done that in the first place but I was like you and thought I would save some money and get one of the cheap ones but in the long run it didn't save me any money

Go FASS use AN10 fittings. Nice work and finished kit that way. I learned with the other. Fass can put the ass behind their stuff. All I had to see were the ones that don't work from above guys and it's clear.

To those recommending the 1792 edelbrock: didn't you see the big bold leters at the bottom of the description that says "Warranty will be void if used with diesel fuel."? Hmmm...

Anyone interested in running one out of a 6.5 they work great. Mine holds a 3000 uS pulse width at approximately 23-24K PSI (This produced 525 HP), has done for 2 years, and they are 100% flow through so if they quit working you're not stranded. If you are worried about them not flowing enough then double them up, run them side by side and it will be more flow than the stock CP3 can produce, and you'll STILL be at a lower price than any of the big name "diesel lift pumps."

Just my .02 worth, I simply can't bring myself to spend that much money on a re-badged pump from someone else thats just got the price jacked up by 50%.

Thanks for the tip Mike. Got ant pics of the plumbing? What about pressure at Idle? & WOT?

This may be right up my alley. Cant bring myself to spend $500+ on a lift pump, but want one to pair with an aux filter.

Plus you get the satisfaction of putting it together yourself!

With the flow through design, could you put two inline with each other and wire them up so that you flip a switch when you need the extra fuel or is it best to "T" the fuel line and run them side by side?

Somebody has the 6.5 lift pump on ebay for $90 shipped. Seems like the cheapest that I could find. Anybody know of where they may be cheaper?

To compound the flow, you would have to split the fuel line with T's and run them in parallel. If you run them in series, or end to end, you won't increase the total flow volume, but will increase the pressure.

i have never tried a pump that wasnt advertized for diesel, so i cant help there but i can say i wouldnt recommend going cheap, the ppe lift pump is the cheapest i have ever sold and the loudest, it is cheap for a reason. all you can hear is a buzzing noise in the cab. fass and airdog are much better. on my own truck my fass system is silent when the truck is running. maybe some other ppl have an idea of a good deal that is better quality...?

The pumps from the 6.5 application are all but silent when in operation. Those pictured in this thread look physically simmiler, but there are several different versions. The particular one that I use produces 7 PSI.

Mike_S
09-21-2010, 01:58 AM
If I remember correctly, a stock cp3 flows only about 80 gallons per hour at full tilt. So those lift pumps that flow 150 GPH are only causing excessive return rates from the pump. At least for those running a stock cp3. Also something to keep in mind, you don't want excessive lift pump pressuers, it can cause erratic idle, and the general inability of the FCA to accurately control rail pressure.

Unfortunately the truck is completely tore down right now for an engine build...the quest for more HP continues. I will be going a different route with my lift pump setup this time around, as these pumps are not quite enough for the HP goal that I'm shooting for, but did support 500 HP well.

The pumps we have been speaking of (factory 6.5) are completely flow-through. If the pump stops producing pressure, the factory fuel system will still perform just like the lift pump was never there. The fuel Labs pumps are pretty sweet though, if you have the coin to buy one...

If you get a 6.5 lift pump, get one for a 1993. They have higher flow.
Also AC Delco is the only brand of 6.5 lift pump that I have any consistant dependability out of. Seems to me they are in the $90 range.
