Gents,<br><br>I was thinking about adding a pusher pump for my truck and I had a few questions...<br><br>1. What kind of pump is everyone using? I went by my local O'Reiley's before I put my lift pump on and had them try and cross the Carter number and couldn't get anything but Iwas leaning towards another Carter. They listed a pump in the Carter book that pumped a good volume at like 18psi. I am very hesitant to go with something like a Holley blue pump..<br><br>2. How do you get into the plastic fuel lines back by the tank to hook up to the pump? Replace them with rubber line? Thoughts?<br><br>3. Wiring, just splice the wiring into the stock lift pump wiring or should I set up a relay that is triggered by the stock lift pump that feeds bat voltage to the pusher? <br><br>Ideas on any of this would be greatly appreciated, I DO NOT want to have to replace my injection pump AGAIN and I'd love to know a hundred dollar investment would prevent a $1500 failure again....<br><br>Thanks in advance,

 

Quote from some old post o mine <br><br>I did just install a pusher pump to the frame right in front of the tank.<br>The guy at the parts store said something about 12 weeks for the cummins pump. I went with one of the pumps used for the cooling devices on trucks- 100 gph at 10 psi. Cost about 60 US$.<br>One separate relay , fuse+holder and a zener diode about US$ 6<br>One hour of work<br>I've got 6 psi at 1/2 speed pump ( while starting) and 11 psi idle to WOT.<br><br>Edit- set the pressure regulator to 14psi , now from idle to WOT. <br><br>AlpineRAM<br>

 

There are some kits out there with all the hardware included. I think Jannetty Racing has one, and maybe Stefan with DTT.

 

Anyone else out there tried to make a HOMEMADE pusher setup? Nothing against vendors but I enjoy undertaking a project every now and then... hence the homemade boost fooler and High idler (&lt;--under construction).<br><br>My main concern is about the fuel lines... how to get into the plastic lines.. replace all the way from the tank to the lift pump or??? <br><br>

 

I just cut into the original lines and fixed them on the pump with aircraft style fuel hose clamps. Used a relay and a zener diode to avoid overpressure at startup. Cummins enginees made the pump run slow during cranking. <br><br>HTH<br>AlpineRAM
