Fass Are is there something BETTER?

Been there, done that! That's why I have the Mitusa! :-laf The electric pumps always seem to go out at the most inconvient times, snow in Spokane, rain on the way to BD Dyno Days, on the way to an appointment, etc. :{ Now I don't have to worry about it, I will still make it to the activity and work on the truck later. I have no doubts that the Mitusa will out-live any electric pump, that's one reason I chose it.

Wow, it sounds like you've had lots of bad experiences with aftermarket electric lift pumps failing. Funny, but I have yet to see a single post anywhere about a failed Walbro pump on a Dodge. I carry my spare because of that Boy Scout motto "Be prepared", but I doubt that I'll ever need it.

Where will I be? I'll be laying under my truck for about 15 minutes while I swap out the "dead" Walbro with the spare that I carry behind the back seat. After that, I'll be on my way down the road. $109 for a spare Walbro pump on eBay; can't beat that.

That's what I like about the Walbro (even though I don't have one).

A. I have yet to hear of one failing

B. Keep a spare in the glove box... 15 minutes and your on the road agin.

I keep a spare carter and the swap would be just as quick. There's no way the Carter is as reliable however.

That is everyones fear, you can't tell when the stock pump will let go. Lots of times the vains inside the stock pump stick, therfore no pressure. My question would be could the mit pump build enough pressure from cranking. I am not a fan of the mits pump for the above reason. The stockers are junk.

A related question about the Mitusa would be this.....

Does the fuel to the Mitusa flow through the stock lift pump first? If so, what if the stock lift pump fails with the vanes closed causing an obstruction? How would the Mitusa draw fuel through this? Some people with a failed stock lift pump can keep driving because the vanes are stuck open and the CP3 can still pull fuel. But if they become stuck closed, the truck stops running.

The Mitusa feed into the top of the stock fuel filter not thru the stock lift pump, totally seperate supplys. A new filter cap with all the fittings and hose comes with the Mitusa.



In cranking the Mitusa, I am sure the Mitusa would have enough pressure to start the truck if the stock pump failed. Opie has disigned this system to back itself up with the stock lift pump in starting and as a security net if something happened to the Mitusa.

Not sure if the Admins will allow this. If it is not ok, please delete.



Opie is the same guy that makes all the billet parts for the transmission.

Glacier Diesel power's fuel system is the best. If it fails, just unplug and go to stock pump.
