Check this pump out... http://www.holley.com/12-150.asp



I know most people don't suggest the Holley pump as a replacement for the stock lift pump. I noticed this one is a gerotor fuel pump like the raptor and others, but it doesn't say anywhere its ok for diesel.

Has anyone tried this pump out?

Would you suggest it?

 

I am sure it will be fine. I have been running an Aeromotive 1000 for 5-6 years and it has been fine with the diesel fuel.
Actually I am looking at that pump--the holley-- for my street car.

 

Many of the streetrod guys that I cruise with have this pump. Very quiet running. I would think it is ok with diesel fuel but I haven't asked Holley.

 

I talked with Holley a while back regarding their fuel pressure regulator and the gerotor pump, and they said none of their products are rated for diesel.

 

A lot of guys used the Holley Black pump over the years, most of them ended up having to replace them because they would not hold up.

 

i would think diesel fuel would lubricate the pump more than gasoline

 

The diesel actually seems to eat away at certin seals.

 

In my opinion the Holley pumps are short of what we are looking for in a reliable DIESEL lift pump. I went through a few on mine. Switching over to Air Dog now.

 

I wonder if using a seal kit for alcohol rating would be better for diesel? I know many pumps like the holley and similar have an alcohol conversion kit which uses different material seals, might be worth a try.

 

Lots of people including myself running the Holley Blue for many years! Clean fuel and adequate wiring to the lift pump will ensure a long life for any pump.

 

I would agree if you added vane style pump to it. The gear rotor should be much better.

 

I have that exact pump on my truck. Its been running for a few years now and no issues (knock on wood)..I didnt use the regulator that came with it, I just run without. 17psi is what my gauge always says. For a gear pump it is quiet-but if i listen with the window down ya can hear it some. I recomend it
