WELP!

the latest carter M6266 just died after 3 days
2 trips to work, and half a trip to the grocery store...


I've been testing the Delphi ones, and one of them with the return port plugged seems like it might work

Thinking about putting an in line orifice or maybe scavenging the orifice off of the M6266

Also thought maybe turning down some 0.060" jets and shoving them into the return hose

Garbage aftermarket. I could keep my old junk running forever if there was just some decent replacement repair parts.

I avoid anything stamped in China. Best option is usually Taiwan, followed probably by Mexico, U.S., and any other country besides China.

Yeah, it's mechanical

So 3 Delphi, none of them had an orifice on the return bung, one of them worked for 30-45 minutes before it lost enough pumping capacity due to the full flow return

I didn't notice it didn't have the orifice was missing until I pulled it off

Also noticed the dreaded A stamped on the, so I guess Delphi white labels through Airtex


Pump #2


Pump #3




I ordered a Carter again, has the orifice and truck is back on the road, I'll take 3 years operation Vs 30 minutes any day

Fuel Systems and Drivability / Quality OE Fuel pumps?

Anybody have any guidance?

On my 305 dualjet with return, I had a carter pump and it lasted about 1-2 years

Finally gave out a few weeks ago

I ordered a Delphi and it was dead out of the box, wouldn't hold pressure unless I capped off the return line

Got a replacement Delphi shipped by the vendor

The replacement worked for about 30 minutes and then died, luckily I had some vice grips and was able to make it home.

The replacement won't hold pressure unless the return is capped also

It's crazy that you can't find a good fuel pump anymore

I don't know anything about TPE, but the ABS covers I have used on other vehicles were pretty junky.
