Fuel station filter questions
Hello all, first post here. I have already learned a lot just by lurking, lol. I have a question hopefully you guys can help with. I have a 2012 Palomino Puma FW. Have to replace the pump for the fuel...

allcool, pump would not run all the time. When it did start, amp draw was way too high, and amps increased as it ran. Pump rated to draw 11 amps. Running for about 10 seconds, it was approaching 19 amp draw when I shut it down to prevent blowing the fuse. 75% of the time when you flipped the switch it would click, but not start. Same once removed and on the bench. New one works perfectly, every time.
Sounds like your gears are swollen up causing the pump to bind and cause high amperage draw. Common problem. Hopefully you caught it before it burnt up the motor..?
Might be able to get a gear set rebuild kit for free or $20.
Some have found, sanding the gears on a flat plate, fixes the issue...
