I don't see many complaints on the Walbro pumps in diesel service. I'm running on my 2nd OEM (relocated to frame) pump and still running strong after 28,000 miles. The Walbro is my first choice for next replacement. My Brother, my grandson and a friend had gerotor pump failure in Chevy...

Gary - K7GLD: I looked at the picture (taken by you) of the LP with the bottom plate and gasket laying by pump. If a person would take the plate off and apply some type of sealant such as (silicone or teflon sealant) on both sides at the sealing area, do you think this could possibly be the...

Mistake?---may be, but I've read where the tank pump fails also and when it does it's not an easy fix. I read on one forum where it cost ca. $650. 00 to replace. Also if equipped with both pumps the one at the "old location" is apt to fail and hard to get to. If it fails and you have a spare and...

I believe Eric at Vulcan Weld can help on this. Call 1-360-885-1895.

Fleetguard (Cummins product)

I called Howes yesterday and was told it is not necessary to add anything to the fuel for lubricity if you are using their product. He said to use 6 oz. of Howes per 25 gal of fuel. I was interested in adding MMO but he said it's not needed. In October they will have more lubricant in their...

Lift Pumps I called Cummins West-San Antonio and gave the parts man the 4090046 # and he quoted me a price of $165. I ask about the $65 price and he said I will have to talk to the parts manager. From then on everything I ask he said I would have to talk to the PM. I politely hung the phone up...

My first diesel truck was a '93 CTD and now I have an '02 CTD and have used Howes in both. Never a problem with fuel systems except had to replace the LP on the '02. Came from the factory with a weak one. Question is: How much MMO should be used with each fill up?

When my lift pump was replace under warranty last year, I relocated it with the Vulcan Kit. I put an isolation valve and Fleetguard pre-filter to pump, leaving the OEM filter in place. This way it will be easy to change either the filter or pump. After 10,000 miles I've had no problems. My...

I have a new Cummins (spare) lift pump in the original Cummins box I bought from a Cummins dealer. I went out to my truck and opened the box for the first time. There are stains and a slight odor but I can't say for sure its diesel. It would be nice if a tag was in place to state that the pump...

I just got off the phone with the parts manager at a Cummins dealership. He does not have the 4090046 kit in stock but can order it for $222. 34.

Ncostello I believe your LP system is tops. I would upgrade mine the same as you but would like to have a Racor filter before the pump and use the OEM filter housing after the pump. A drain valve after the OEM filter would allow you to flush the system to a container to be assured of no air...

Gary - KJ6Q What did you find out with the bypass around the 4600 pusher? What kind of electrical hookup do you have for the pusher? I noticed a toggle sw. on your dash. Does this have anything to do with your pusher? Looks like a good installation. Do you think the small filter is...
