so; i dropped the tank today to start the AD150 install. after taking the basket apart i noticed a substantial ammount of crap laying in the basket so i decided to take a look at how dirty the tank was. suprisingly clean except for bronze shavings. any ideas? i'm hoping it isnt IP internals.

 

bump... i've been inside a rotary pump before but i dont really recall any brass parts. no idea where else the shavings would have come from... unless its something from the stock lift pump... i replaced it when i first got the truck so who knows.... i'd just like a heads up if the my IP might be going on its way out. i guess if there's brass layin in the pump when i crack it loose for the 366 spring then i'll know.

 

the bushing in the front that the shaft rides on is bronze.Do u have alot of play in your shaft?

 

are you refuring to the shaft that rotates the pump or the gov shaft??

 

man i dont know tower

 

The pump shaft bushing is brass/bronze and the vein pump is part brass/bronze.

 

That's about the only place it can come from if it's in the pickup basket.

 

main pump shaft right behing the seal

the vein pump isnt bronze

 

the pump isn't but the plate it rides against is.

 

why would they make a piece with a sharp machined steel edge runnning and wiping over a bronze ring?Your talking about the eccentric ring?do you have a picture?ive been inside a few pumps
