Stanadyne fuel manager

Has anyone seen this?



It is advertised in the new TDR and is available through Scheid diesel. www.scheiddiesel.com



According to the website it raises the fuel pressure 6 psi. This could possibly be too much, correct?



It also keeps the stock lift pump which could also be bad?

This is just another attempt to “bandaid” fix a well documented problem. Which is the main Lift pump. As far as the pressure goes I ran 25-35lbs for 11 months the truck ran OK. I have one of those halfhearted “fixes” on my truck. I run dual charter pumps with 3/8 SS lines. I got 11 months on the first set of carters before they went south. I am working on the 2nd set. I took a look inside to find out just what went bad, to my surprises I found out. It was not the motor, or the rotor vain (the pump). It was the nylon bushing that connects the two shafts between them. The motor had more than enough power to rotate the shaft where I think the problem lies is in the viscosity of diesel at –10 deg F. it appeared to be to much for that bushing and the slot wore out at less than 12,000 miles and would no longer engage the shaft to rotate the pump. Both of my pump problems have been in the winter. If carter which makes the OEM lift pump put a steel bushing in the pump a lot of problems would have not happened. Or maybe they would have. This is only what I have seen on my truck. There is allot of other things that have happened to lift pumps. But how many have been looked at as close as this?

Back to the top. Just curious if anybody is using this. It appears to be just another version of a pusher pump, but it still looks interesting. Direct link: http://www.scheiddiesel.com/Products/bracketkit.html

RO'neal uses it and seems to like it. I use twin frame mounted Stanadyne Filters in lieu of the OEM setup. I also mounted my Carter on the frame to make it more of a transfer pump rather than a lift pump. Works real well and I'm very pleased with my 13-16psi numbers all the time... whether towing, idling, or really getting on it.

Ncostello -



Could you give me a little more of RO'neal's sig. I tried to find him to pm him in the O'Neal's, Neal's, RO'neal's and did not find anything. Would like to know his impressions of it and did it accomplish what he wanted it to do.



Thanks,

RO'neal is his username in full. I don't know that he has ever said anything about it here but I was there when he put it on. Basically it gives him 6psi more and he has no complaints. He didn't have alot to say cause he just put it on when I saw it. His truck can be found in Readers Rigs... go to the bottom and scroll until you see his name.



I think he also frequents DTR under SmokinShaker.
