bach4660 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I had brand new fuel pump with the blue felpro gasket and the thickness of the gasket was enough to make the truck not run. Re-assembled without gasket using just a thin coat of rtv sealant and it runs great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Balazs Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Keep at it Roland. Sounds like you are getting it narrowed down. Fwiw I am not too keen on running with an original style pump and this stuff that passes for gasoline these days. As I was building my truck I decided to ditch the old style pump and install a big Carter rotary style pump back at the tank. I installed a large canister type pre-filter ahead of this pump and another just ahead of the Carb. This has functioned well for me in daily use for 5 plus years. Some might consider this overkill but I feel it was a prudent thing to do. Also I dose every other tank full with MMO. Jeff 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
