Angry at my Cucv

Why does my M!008 eat or kill injection pumps ? its so frustrating.

 

[Coffey1]

Your not feeding it the right diet.

I would also consider the current fuels and rebuilders. Todays fuel is very dry. Stanadyne is probably compensating for this with updated rebuild kits but I'd think many rebuilders are using up old stock first. Try adding a lubricity formula.

I'm not a chemist nor do I play one on TV, but I believe the sulphur removed from diesel is what used to act as a lubricant.

Are you using straight diesel? I have had good luck with American Diesel Services, 662-895-1200. They seem pretty together and am sure they use correct seals & stuff.

Cucvnut - if you allow mechanical items to get the best of you - you are defeated before you begin.

Its man made - it can take a crap whenever it wants to - that means even if you had just pulled it off the showroom floor from a dealer - MURPHY.

You could be doing the best you can on PM's - inspections or whatever - and the most unlikely item will be the thing to break or fail on you - MURPHY

Stand back - take a deep breath and look at it from a different perspective - you cannot allow this stuff to run you or manipulate you - Holy Cow - its just mechanical stuff that man invented to frustrate us in the first place.

You can do it Bro - just get a grip.

How many IP's in what amount of time?

 

[Cucvnut]

Three since 2009.

You sure it's not an electrical problem? That one pump that was on your truck is still running fine in mine (after I replaced the solenoid). Do you still have a 24v setup? Maybe there's something funky with your wiring causing a higher than normal voltage?

What part of IP is failing? The cost of those IP's are brutal!

Starving it? Lift pump temperamental. Vac/ pressure gauge between filter and IP would let ya know. 5-7 psi keeps 'em happy.

I did not count that pump since it runs on your truck.

I have an electronic fuel pump pushing the lift pump.

For every tank of diesel I fill, I add some two cycle engine oil or some transmission fluid to the fuel. She runs so much better.

CUCV - do you know what volume of fuel is actually going though the system or was it pre-set when you got it @fuel pump and what was the pressure set at ?
Is there a pressure regulator in the system - is there an actual read out of what that pressure is ? A physical reading heading into the pump ?

Well it didn't run at first, I had to swap a solenoid as the one on it was smoked. That's why I put it out there that maybe its somehow getting 24v? I dunno, I'm just grasping at this point.

What symptoms are you seeing that let's you know the IP's are failing?
