Fuel Pump Question
So today on my way home my truck starts sputterin just like it always does at highway speed so I flip on the electric fuel pump to keep it going and this time it dont work. I limp along the side of the road to the exit and clean the filter and try to fire ole Darla back and she says no way. Good thing my girl has an electric backup pump and she got me home. My question is what goes bad on the pump? Diaphram? Springs? I thought I read somewhere that the connecting rod wears out. Should I replace the pump or rebuild old one and replace rod? What else should I do? Using the electric pump make her idle real fast.
