the lift pump dont really shake me up ill change them every 20k if i have to its that 44 that worries me. Pappy are you convinced its the pressure that needs to be maintained at intake of 44 to keep them going?

 

I had a boat engine fuel pump that would pick up crap from the tank and start to die...I always made it home and fixed the pump...then one day it died 20 miles off shore...had to be towed in after a long wait...after that day I bypassed the engine fuel pump with a electric pump never died again...moral of this story there are better products then the OEM puts on the engine...they cost more but they get ya home
