I'll never hava an IDI with out an electric pump again.

Mine kept telling me the filter(s) was (were) plugged when it was actually the pump. What a PITA!

haha yeah man.there's no comparison.
should have been factory.

i recently ran out of fuel,i mean she was stalling out exactly at the fillup pump! (i know,oops! i had to take my front air dam off,and im not used to such lower miles per tank anymore.-back on now though.) anyway,she actually drained the ip a bit,cus after fillup i hot the key and let it sit a min while i wrote down my miles on the receipt.she had to crank 5 good full seconds before firing up.i haven't heard her crank so much since i replaced the ip.

the best story so far with the e-pump;
bad fuel in the winter,the filter gelled up and got stuck beside the road.luckily not too far from home.
towed it home,and poured in diesel 911 and let the e-pump circulate that good stuff through the system.just poured it in the tank,while it was well below freezing,around upper teens that day if i recall.went in the house rather than messing around with cold wet diesel on the hands cracking injector lines.rather just came back out and she fired right up.
now i know this,i could have just done it roadside.the diesel 911 red jug remains in the toolbox during winter now.

your starter is gunna be happy.
