Yes, they arent compatible with diesel. Some people have had them live long lives but they are few and far between. Get yourself a pump thats made for diesel.

I got a Carter 4601hp for 8 years now and haven't had a problem with it yet. I think it is a little cheaper than the holley. I try to get people to put on a fass or air dog but if they don't have the money I suggest the carter. I also leave the stock pump on the block and push fuel to it. I have no problem keeping fuel pressure about 22 idle and 16-18 WOT and 14 under a load with a good fuel filter.
