12v disel pump booster

ed will · Jan 12, 2019

Diesel people, I have an old 4 cyl dsl Toyota pickup that was
very sluggish going up hill. The Toyota people said the injector
pump was weak/ worn out. I put a 12V inline fuel pump before the
filter and the problem stopped. Now my 2 cyl kubota engine on
the Girette takes quite a lot of spinning to start at initial
start up in the day. I've ordered a fuel pump from Ebay. Do you
think it will help in this case? Ed Will oliver BC

Sounds like an interesting solution! What pressure pumps do you buy? I have thought about putting a low pressure electric fuel pump on our Husqvarna lawn tractor. The tank is lower than the carburetor and it has to crank awhile after sitting for more than a few days. It has a Kawasaki gasoline engine.

I do not think it can hurt, please post the results.

Ed it might help if the fuel is leaking back but most likely the glow plugs are not heating. You say to begin the day so you are saying cold start. Low pressure electric sure will not hurt the Kubota, hope it solves your problem.

Thanks, that's what I've been thinking of using, for that price, I'm sure its's low pressure.

I have an IH 884D and a 584D, both with the fuel tank at the back. The fuel gauges on both do not work, so I occasionally run out of fuel--always in the most inconvenient spot! When they run out it takes at least 10 gallons of fuel to get fuel flow enough to start the engine. I'm thinking of installing electric lift pumps on them so they'll start up again with only a couple gallons of fuel. It seems to me they should have had those as original equipment.

All I can tell you is, I added an elec pump to my Gleaner F2. Only pump in it is the IP. Makes it hard to bleed the air out of the system when it run out and filter changes. Elec pump changed all that!

Same on the Parsons trencher I just acquired. I haven't added the pump yet but expect I will be. Previous owner made up a hose with a tire stem to put over the filler neck. It works but the stem is dry cracked now.

It certainly could help. Many applications have a mechanical "lift" pump ahead of the injector pump. On more recent machines that lift pump is now apt to be electric. Any of these systems can leak back, but the electric pump is the one which should get you fuel pressure as soon as you turn the key on. That beats cranking and cranking.

I replaced the mechanical pumps on a couple of my Perkins engines with the green Mr Gasket electric pumps...very easy to bleed the system now! I will replace others as the mechanical ones wear out. The only downside is you need a battery for the engine to run, now.
