How much is a new one or can you get em anymore? I have someone who needs it but don't know what to let it go for or decide to keep it incase I ever decide to take the Airdog off.

 

I'm sure if you went to cummins they'd still have them. Probably not cheap though. I'd just figure out what the fitting size is at the inlet and run it with hose to the outlet on the head.

 

Yeah worst comes to worse if I need it I could probably find one on a junkyard truck or something. 50 bucks sound like a reasonable price to let it go for doesn't it?

 

12MM X 1.5 METRIC to JIC adapters in both the injection-pump inlet and fuel-filter inlet and outlet.

14MM X 1.5 METRIC to JIC adapter in the lift-pump outlet.

Some JIC straight and some JIC 90* swivels.

That will get you all fixed up for rubber hose instead of silly hard-lines.

 

thanks because I actually needed the IP inlet size for what I'm going to do. I'll run a 90* swivel JIC on mine

 

Sweet Bearkiller, that's some real helpful information! Appreciate yalls time

 

Gosh golly gee; I hope my memory on those thread sizes is right.

 

I hope so too!

 

IIRC, it was only about $35 for the steel line. I'll look through my many invoices from Cummins and get you a part number and confirm the price. Unless, you choose to build your own using the fittings that BearKiller mentioned.

 

I had to buy one of those 2 years ago, it was about $50 (CDN) or so.
Sorry dont remember the part#

 

The factory hard-lines are NOT better for their purpose, in fact rubber is the better choice.

The manufacturers choose the metal hard-lines for their friendliness toward assembly-line manufacturing processes.

Regardless of whether the hard-line is on a bull-dozer, farm-tractor, or your Dodge pickup, the constant engine vibrations start fatigue cracking at all flanged connections; and, if a hard-line contacts anything else, a hole will soon vibrate through.

Not so with rubber.

The rubber will absorb all vibrations and be none the worse for wear.

The only place the steel is necessary is the injector-lines themselves, and I would not be surprised if there were flexible braided stainless products that would be better even at that task.

 

does that 14mm x 1.5 thread size on the outlet of the pift pump apply to the second gen lift pumps and low pressure lift pumps as well?

 

YES SIR.

14MM X 1.5 METRIC/06-JIC adapter is what I use.

discounthydraulichose.com has the best selection and prices I have found for JIC stuff.

 

Yep!

 

Well I'm making my own fuel system from the lift pump to the IP inlet. I'm putting a bango snubber right at the IP inlet. 12x1.5 sweeping 90* to hose barb from a second gen filter housing to the IP. Lift pump with have a 14x1.5 sweeping 90* hose barb on it too. I'll have a bango bolt on the inlet to the filter because the injector return line taps into the top of the bango.

It should work ok... at least better than stock. And this way my fuel pressure gauge is literally right on the inlet of the IP.

Of course they'll all probably have something like a JIC to hose barb but you get the idea.
