Default Electric fuel pump for a diesel

I went to my local auto parts store and said that I wanted a 12volt diesel
fuel pump. They said that they had them for trucks. Worked great.

As long as you keep salt water off of it, it's hard to imagine that the pump
would have any way of knowing it was in a boat instead of a truck. Come to
think of it, being inside the engine room of a boat is probably easier duty
than being under the hood of a semi-truck. Those engines hang out in the
weather and road salt even more than boat engines usually do.
