Okay, semi-bad news. Confirmed leak from the fuel pump weep hole. I suppose it's time for an e-fuel conversion. Problem is I'm still in MA and heading to WI in less than two weeks. Really crunched on time but need to get this fixed. Would anyone be around to give me a hand? Mitch? Sent you a PM, if you can please give me a call. At this point I'd be willing to pay someone from FTE...anyone?

You need to just throw a replacement mech on there.I hate to say that but you are on a fast schedule there.

X2^^^^^^^ Being pressed for time, I'd just replace the pump. The cost isn't that bad, and it would be a lot faster than doing e-fuel now. When you do e-fuel later, you could sell the oem pump to someone on here that is down and needs one

Yeah, it's not what I want to hear about it's the right advice. I've built a custom fuel system for my old excursion so it's not a new thing to me...

I have a regulator and SD fuel pump. I was going to use the banjo fitting for the feed lines in the back of the heads. The only work that would need to be done is the pre / post filters, fuel lines run and relay to power the fuel system...but maybe replacing the mechanical pump is the right thing...
