I got some inexpensive generic fuel pump of the correct line size on

eBay when I was first troubleshooting this engine (boat was sold to me with the diesel not running) and I'd figured out I was having some fuel supply issue (from the lack of fuel out of the lift pump). Worked fine and was definately faster than the Kubota's mechanical pump, but went back to the mechanical pump after figuring out it was working and the cause was a 2nd hidden filter between the cockpit and the fuel tank that was clogged. But I still carry it for priming fuel filters, testing if needed, transferring fuel if ever needed, etc. I gave it a cigeratte lighter plug. But actually using it instead of the mechanical one would certainly make bleeding faster tho maybe a bit fast and messy if I'm not careful. I imagine the existing mechanical pump would need to be removed and the hole sealed or else given a closed loop of oil to pump so that it didn't wreck itself and wedge. Replacing hardened fuel lines and keeping hose clamps snug could help prevent drawing air in to the system. I was having trouble there too. "All a diesel needs is fuel and engine oil" is surprisingly tricky. -scott, #93 On 0, "JAMES DOBBS via groups.io" <jdob3542@...> wrote:
