I believe that $450 was after much trial and error. Several pumps and such, later..

 

Do it once and do it right.......

 

I throw my .02 in. I did a lot of research and I bought a walbro set up from wideopen diesel. It was a nice kit and has worked flawlessly for the last year. I recently looked on there website and noticed they don't sell the walbro pumps anymore, so I figured I'd call and find out why. Turns out the pumps do not have any warranty and the warranty offered was from wideopen diesel. They still sell the kit, but you have to supply your own pump. They told me they had 2 failures with the walbro pumps. I don't know if these were defective from the start or they went bad. I think it is a good idea to be running a fuel additive or biodiesel with these pumps.

This was the reason I did not sell the Walbro pumps and only carred the line kits. I hate not being able to offer a warranty through the manufacturer.

Due to recent requests for these pumps, I will most likely start carrying them. The kicker is that there is absolutely no warranty. Walbro won't even replace a defective out of the box pump.

But, people want them, so what do you do?

So what Walbro pump does everyone recommend then??? I looked on summits site, but they don't seem to carry them.

Also, to tie into the fuel rails on the frame, does everyone just cut the line, flare the ends and pop the pump in there??

Then once this is done just completely bi-pass the stocker lp...

 

The walbro GSL 392 pump has enough gph to bypass the stock lp. This is what came in my kit when I bought it. It actually flows enough fuel that you have to put a "T" in the filler neck to the tank to cycle the extra fuel back to the tank. It is also very important to run a pre-filter with these pumps. At last check the pumps were selling for around $115. It might be a good idea to buy the accessory kit and a walbro pump. You will also need a trigger wire to run from the plug at the stock lift pump back to where you locate your new pump. If you buy a kit it also comes with fuel line and push lok fittings.

You dont need a T in the filler neck, there is an extra port on the tank module that I ran my return to.

 

There are 2 "common" pumps.

They are best mounted tot he frame rail as close and as low as possible to the tank.

Many use this pump as a "pusher" to aid the stocker, but I feel that a single pump approach is always best.

You normally would just cut the line and join everything back up with a few small pieces of hose and clamps. Or buy the kit and upgrade the entire system.

I still recommend a Draw Straw no matter the pump setup.

Nevermind about the $450, I actually have $330 in it, but I used a few things over and didnt have to buy them (a couple fittings, and all the hose, wiring was already done). I guess my guesstimator is off tonight or something.

 

any info on the bd pumps would be nice.
