New style Carter LP
New style Carter LP
Anyone else seen these? I just took my Carter LP back to Oriellys for warranty
and he said that this replaced it. It has a tag on it that says that its new and improved but the fittings are different. One side has the fitting for the push-loc and the other has a banjo fitting(already on it). Pretty worthless to me since I have the big line/relocation kit. Does anyone know if they make fittings so this will work with the Vulcan kit?

Yea I got one last week, works great 17 psi at idle, nothing less than 12 full throttle. I had bought a big line kit but thankfully a buddy of mine said to install only the portion from the fuel filter to the vp 44 and keep my stock fuel lines so that the new lift pump would work.
I just got an email from Eric at Vulcan and he said he was working on getting the new specs for the pump and will have a fix soon. Hopefully my spare will last until then.
Just FYI, you can still get the original Carter pumps at Summit Racing. Pretty reasonably priced too. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...239+115+400415
Sounds like you got the AirTex pump. Supposed to be a gear type pump, not a vane pump. They used to sell the carters under their name but became worried about the damage to their name because of the failures. They have since began marketing their own design, unfortunantly, right now they only way you can get one is with the original fittings. They are working on getting a pump marketed with barbed fittings for us who have moved their pumps. Hope my pump will last for another couple of weeks, I beleive that they will be sold at a "new" site, ValueDiesel.com. Looks to me like a very good alternative for us 'cheep' guys who also have families to feed and cant swing the extra bucks at one chunk for a FASS or WALBRO.

With that said mine is rock solid fuel pressure ideals around 16psi and nothing below 10 hard on it pulling a load.
There are no visual differences between the new fuel lift pumps and the old fuel lift pumps. The new fuel lift pumps can only be identified by part number.

Thats Funny Duanew. I AM a CHEAP guy
with a family,,,Thats why I bought my Walbro for $130.00 Instead of a Factory carter for $202.00,, I saved money buying the walbro,,And have been HAPPY with it. NOW the fass on the other hand,,I would need to have a Mortage on that.. hahahaha.
I believe you are talking about the campaign pumps. These are even newer than that. The last one I bought (OEM replacement) came in an Airtex box but with a Carter inside. The new one looks a regular fuel pump (more vertical) than the OEM. Completely different design with different fittings which are already attached.
Well I don't know what my pump is I got it from HO Diesel and it was around 130 out the door and its been on for a better than a year and a half and I cant pulling 10klbs get it below 9psi on it hard
I turned eric onto the new airtex pump design, and showed him how i mounted it on the frame rail. look here http://www.turbodieselregister.com/f...mp-design.html
