Kelly 1,029 #1 Posted December 16, 2012 Ok I'm buying up a few parts to get started back on my twin cyl. diesel project, I'm using the stock rear mounted tank on the C-195, so I know I need a lift pump for the engine it would have had a engine mounted tank and I belive it has a small pump on the engine to feed the injectors, I know I need a low press pump, but I want to keep cost down and don't want to buy a reg if I can help it, and space for everything is going to be tight, I'm thinking about 3psi, but I found a pump that is 3-5 psi, @30 gph, do you think that will be to big?? I will have a return line set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whc160 74 #3 Posted December 16, 2012 At work we have units on the semi trucks call TriPac's. They use a two cylinder Yanmar diesel to charge the batteries, heat the block, & run an A/C system so the truck engine does not have to idle at night. They have a elec supply pump that pulls fuel out of one of the trucks fuel tanks. I get replacement pumps at NAPA. They have two different ones. Can't remember the GPM on them or the part number. I will look tomorrow at work & let you know. Be sure to put a filter between it & the tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #4 Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks, I think I'm more consered with press. I figure the GPH is plenty @30, it does have a pump mounted to the engine to feed the inj. and the return lines come off each inj. I plan on two filters one before the pump and one at the engine, just to be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #5 Posted December 16, 2012 The psi of the delivery pump is not nearly as important as the gpm's. The pump you mentioned will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #6 Posted December 16, 2012 jim you said GPM, this is rated at GPH, I know it does not need 30GPM, so I"m guessing a miss typed "M" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #7 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Yes Kelly, I mistyped. The pump will work just fine. Edited December 17, 2012 by Jim_M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
