The engine is a 190HP Cummins Diesel. It's in a Fleetwood pusher. The external pump was installed within 2 feet of the engines lift pump. So it's drawing fuel some 30 odd feet. There was an ignition wire available on the engine so supplying power was trivial.
The Airtex pump from NAPA I used is rated at 8-12 GPM. I used brass plumbing to adapt the pump size to the hose size. Whether you need a more powerful pump or not is your question. Still, think it would be available somewhere.
Here's a link to a high pressure external pump, note that the power is suppose to come from the emergency fuel shut off...if you have one:
High pressure pump...
Looks like a winner.
Thanks for the info and the link for just in case.
Now, does anyone know what the fuel pressure requirements are for a Chevy 7.4 Vortec engine are?
