fuel pump question
The mechanical fuel pump needs to be replaced( not leaking but not pumping near the vol. of fuel needed) Could I put an inline electric fuel pump on the frame rail and fix the fuel starvation problem? Any help would be greatly apprecated. Thanks. Nick

Welcome to FTE!
How have you determined a low flow?
Have you checked the pressure at the schrader valve?
Yes sir, you can switch to electric fuel
Here are a couple of links to get you started:

WELCOME TO FTE!!!
Here are some quick links you should save:
1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

1996 Bronco/F-Series Workshop Manual
97-15A 7.3L DI Turbo Workshop Manual
Now that's out of the way.
Some people have put in electric pumps and there are links on how to do that, perhaps someone else can lead you to them (I don't have them).
Is your truck a "Cali" model?
Do you have this disc looking thing betwwen the pump and kind of underneath the turbo stand?
If so, then you have a Cali model. The pump is harder to change than the regular FED or 49 model. Either way you can replace the old pump w/o taking the turbo off. It looks intimidating but it is really not that bad once you start. You have a 24/7 technical service here that will walk you through it every step of the way.
What do you think? Want to save some money and do it yourself?
What year/miles/auto?/4x4? etc...
