2001 7.3 electric LP

[Remps]

How safe is my front seal with this lift pump? Can't seem to find any info on it.

[Douglas]

hey-Hey!!!,
Post the part number and I'll make some inquiries as to its performance on Monday. Not quite sure I can say if it is safe or not, but I should be able to get enough info that we can make a decent decision.
cheers,
Douglas

The only number I could find on it was E35F-9C370-AA. The dieselbombers PS guys say it makes 50-80 psi, depending on what the regulator (which I believe is in the fuel filter housing on a 7.3) tells it to make. Looks like I gotta buy a regulator, or snap ring/loctite my spare IP before I use it.

Well I was bored today so I pulled the pretty much dead electric LP out of the 90 today, and started installing the 7.3 pump. I wanted to pressure test the new fuel gauge,lol. Went to the hardware store to get some fuel line, and disentegrated the lower ball joint in the 93. Oh well. Got towed home and finished installing the pump. And it works great! It'll peg the 60 psi gauge in 2 seconds even at WOT. I was suprised that nothing leaked with that much pressure. So I still need a regulator cause it sucks driving flicking the pump on and off! I'll be getting the Mallory 4307 when money allows.

You sir, are on borrowed time.

Lol, its pretty easy to maintain 5-15 psi with the switch, but when it hits 20 psi the pressure climbs FAST. Oh, and its tarp strapped to the inner fenderwell. Its just for a couple day till I get some balljoints into the 93. Which, by the way, gained 10 psi boost the other day when I backed the fuel screw OUT about 1.2 turns to lower the idle yesterday. Goes like snot now, and runs outta fuel pressure in under 2 seconds..goin easy on it tho till I get a pyrometer in it.

better inquire about what your doing to your internal pump timing... 60 psi is not at all what a ve was designed for

CHECK YOUR OIL!!!!! Probably 2 gallons of fuel in it.

[Remps]

If you would have read the post above, ya woulda seen that I did check the oil. I took it to 60 psi twice, once before I started it to check for leaks, and once at wot to see how it kept up. I know that inlet pressure affects dynamic timing, and I figure flickin the switch for a second every 7-8 seconds to maintain 5-15 psi is better than lettin the ve suck its own fuel. It'll get me to the grocery store for a couple days!

How much do these pump go for? what about reliability?

[Remps]

I got mine for free, not sure what a new one is, might be cheap from a wrecker. You'd have to ask a ford guy about reliability, I'm guessing they last half as long as a 7.3.

Until you get a regulator hooked up just tie it in to your blinker. On,off,on,off,on,off.

So 20,000 miles?

[ellis93]

230$ for an airtex from oreilly.

[Remps]

20 000 miles? Maybe a 6.0, lol. Ritchie, thats a good idea! I'll pull the left side bulbs, and only make right turns!
