Auxiliary diesel fuel tank, micro pump replacement
Hi,
I have got a question to anyone who has replaced their aux. fuel cell mirco-pump. I had my truck in the body shop and they had to take out the toolbox, fuel cell, entire bed, 5th wheel, etc. to do some repairs from a rear-end accident...Anyway.
They did a R/I (remove/install) on the stuff and now the micro pump for my fuel cell does not work, and leaks like a sieve. I just put 15 gallons of fuel to test the pump out 2 days ago, and left the mini- valve open to the pump (to see if it gravity feeds to main tank).
Came back out 2-3 hrs later to check on it and 1/2 of my 8ft bed was covered in fuel, leaking from the pump. Estimate about 1-2 gallons of fuel leaked. I am pretty sure the nipples where the hoses connect are cracked...
I am taking it back to the body shop for some re-do of the shoddy work eventually, but want to just get idea of what kinds/brands/types of micro pumps that yall have.
I have my fuel pump connected to my Aux. Uplifter #4 switch on my dash. I am pretty sure the wiring is good, but I will have to double check, once I get new, non-leaky, non-cracked pump.
Any replies are appreciated.
