Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fass eats brushes

[2Farr]

I have a fass 150 pump on my 98 for about 8 years now and the last year, the brushes only last around 8000 miles. I'v gone to 12ga wire. grounded the pump. Still brushes go away fast. Any ideas?

That's strange--I also have an older 150 on my 2000 since about 2004 and it hasn't eaten any brushes. Who'd you buy it from? You should give them a call and talk to them about it. Did it just start going through brushes that often recently, or has it always eaten them like that?

Diesel Dan I think used to be the FASS tech guy that was a member here, but I don't believe he works for the company anymore. I'm not sure if they have anyone else that jumps in on threads like this.

It worked fine until the last eight months. I can only get about eight thousand miles out of a set of brushes. The + side of the electric motor brush seems to be the one wearing the most.

sounds like your armature may be grounded. check arm for smoothness also clean out motor housing because of dusting of brushes.
