Has great pressure on the tank return side. .no line obstructions. . . tested out of the car. . . won't lift fuel over level in the tank. . . anyone ever tried to adjust or repair one

The Six conversion section was written a rather long time ago. I don't know when they would find the time to re-do it; I certainly don't have enough time for it. I believe that Tom was one of the main people to provide info for the section, and he is no longer with Pelican.
Anyway, on with the pump: I have been able to take apart the top section, clean the rotor and pucks, and re-assemble. The pump did not leak after I did that; I may have been lucky. I did not touch the crimped parts. The pucks are small, and easy to lose. Don't let them get away. The top has two layers, the housing layer and the cover. The housing is sandwiched between the cover and the main body of the pump. Both of them need to be in the correct orientation with the rest of the pump, or you get no pumping or the pump goes backwards! (Don't ask how I know that.) So mark the pieces before disassembling. --DD |
