Electric fuel pump for a diesel

It is a Yanmar 2gm that has a mechanical pump that I backed up with an electric pump to make bleeding the system easier. I am replacing the mechanical pump but I also need to replace the electric one. The electric one was from JC Whitney and I do not recall the brand. However, i do remember that it was not specifically listed as being for diesel. It is a simple diaphragm pump driven by a selenoid. I am wondering if the diesel could have eaten away the diaphragm. Can anyone suggest a good electric fuel pump fpr this application? JC whitney no longer has it available and I do not trust it anyway. However, the original owner had it installed when he bought the boat so I assume it was supposed to be good. When it finally failed 4 years ago after nearly 16 years, I simply bought an identical one. Any ideas? Walbro 6802 - rated for continuous operation. I have three of them on my boat - 2 for priming, 1 for fuel polishing. You can probably get one for less than $100 if you shop around. http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?...1&WT.mc_id=gb1 Wayne: Thank you. |
