I changed the fuel filter shortly after I got the truck and when I went to prime it I found the lp to be stone dead. No idea how long it may have been like this, the IP still seems to be alright as far as I can tell other than the truck has 155k and it still doesnt smoke at all other than a little puff on start up and maybe a small cloud if I really get on it. Dont know if thats good or bad. Anyway back to the lp, I got a carter from summit and a big line kit and mounted the lp to the frame rail. Got a mechanical 0-30 psi fuel gauge inside the cab that reads 10 when I bump the starter just to run the lp. 8 psi at idle and it only drops to just a hair under 7 at WOT. What do ya'll recommend I do. Will summit replace this lp with another one or should I go a different route? Also, does the lack of smoke mean the IP is probably on the way out? Sorry for the book i just wrote.

 

is the pump you speak of a carter black? if so i had the same results. i ended up getting the holley hp 150 pump. WAY better.

 

Where did you get the holley hp from and what must you pay for one? Is it actually going to hurt anything at this pressure or would I be ok for a while. Its deffinitely more pressure than what it was getting....0

 

the hp i got from jegs. $230 for it- plus it is rebuildable. those psi #s are a little low but it will be ok for awhile. oh, don't waste your time moving the carter to the frame near the tank. your readings wont change. don't ask how i know.
