2011 M1167 Project

Well I was wondering why it wouldn’t start then I drained and opened up the fuel tank and it looked like this.
Fuel tank dropped and cleaned. All rubber lines from the tank to the fuel pump replaced. Mechanical fuel pump replaced. Currently waiting on a new metal line from the fuel pump to filter. It was rusted and seized to the old pump. Fuel filter has been replaced and the rubber lines on that as well.

You better put that back in. It's structural by this point! But, in all seriousness yes good catch and all too common on HMMWVs now days.

Wire screen in the back of the fuel pump probably needs eyeballing also. Did it have the coalescer in the center of the fuel filter? Looks like you own tools and are not afraid to uses them! Good looking project.

You might want to pop the top off the IP and have a look, those are not good indications that it will be OK, it requires a FIVE point security Torx bit.

On a flight so I can’t access earlier posts well. If not mentioned already…

Remove the check valves. Might be dirty.
