I changed my old lp today on my 1999 qc ctd and the parts house gave me a new style pump, but the inlet house gets kinked because its to long and hits the firewall any thoughts ...

 

If it the Airtex style pump, usually I just bend the steel portion of the line to help it from kinking the hose. Have a pic ? It has been a while since I did the last one. IIRC, I bent it toward the engine to give a little more room near the bellhousing opening.......it has been awhile though!

 

I ran into the same problem this morning while installing a new style airtex. I loosened the oil dipstick tube so that it could be moved out of the way. Doing this gave me enough clearance to get the pump mounted on the bracket. Afterwards, I gently bent the return line (as stated above) so that I could slide on the stock inlet line.

 

Hi guys,, this airtex pump your talking about, can it be mounted to framerail, what's your best guess?
Also I just spoke to the Airtex guys they are comming out w/ a updated framerail "mount" version of the same pump, said sometime mid summer.
Thanks for any imput

 

Yes, it can be mounted on the frame rail. You'll need the Vulcan airtex pump adapter and the big line kit.

 

Thanks for the reply..I'll look into that,,
