Diesel Fuel Pump

[ReIN4st]

I have an '82 6.2 Blazer with a bad mech. fuel pump. Can I use a small inline electric fuel pump in this vehicle ?? I have one laying around, its about a 4psi I beleive. Thanks John

I don't know a definitive answer to your question, but consider this. you will need to use a block off plate where the mechanical pump goes, Is it the same as a small block, so you could just use an SBCs? Is a block off plate even made if not an SBCs? Can you make one? the pump is on an angle if I remember correctly and is bigger than on an SBC. you will need a regulator. I believe the mechanical pump only delivers the fuel to the electic pump on the intake at a very low PSI, then the electric gives the injectors the proper PSI. I would think that if you had the regulator for your added electic pump calibrated perfectly, you could get away with it. but for 20 bucks for a new mechanical pump, maybe just replacing it would be best.........js

Oh the pump on the intake is an eletric, I thought it was mechanically driven also. Anyway I'll give a new mech. on the block a shot. Thanks for the information

not only is the pump on the intake electric, but it is really freakin expensive.....................js

I, would get rid of the mech fuel pump. You can buy the plate from Chevy. Oneday, buy yourself a good inline electric pump, you won't have any complants. It helps when you change filters, or run out of fuel! GOPHERKILLER
