The information on the fuel pump is in the engine TM, not the regular shop TM's.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If you were sleepy that day, I bet the flash woke you up REAL good.I welded a 1/2 inch wrench to the floor of my bradley once
while disconecting the batteries
Yes sir, replacing everything including the gasket. I followed each fuel line and tightened the fittings that needed attention. I found only one problematic area so far. It was the fuel return line fitting to the fuel tank. There was a small wet spot around the fitting. I only saw it after removing the battery tray. Would that put air in the fuel system? Not sure if the fuel return terminates just below the fuel tank fitting or extends down below the fuel level.Am curious to see the results of your pump rebuild, appears to be a classic gerotor pump, They are known for being just about bullet proof, If you have time check the rotor to wall clearance with a feeler gage. Unless play is excessive they usually pump, I assume your changing packings/gaskets and putting in new gears, make sure you check your pump body wall condition, the DD manual has the clearances. am sure already on top of it. last 353 powered skidder fuel problem I had was a scarfed up pump body wall, got some trash in fuel system and it chewed it up , was REALLY OBVIOUS Ie. ( didn't need a feeler gage ) some loggers arnt know for preventive Maint! lol
Nothing more frustrating than waiting for the package of parts, getting all fired up to see it at the door, and be ready to put it all to work only to find that your missing ONE critical little part. Man, that's the worst; survivable, but no fun.Got the DD Fuel Pump Rebuild kit today. Was a bit disappointed to find the seller forgot to enclose the fuel pump housing gasket. I setup up my wife's kitchen counter as the assembly work bench while I watched my kids. I used a spark socket to gently place the oil seals into place
