140 GPH Fuel Pump

Great price, great PSI. 4amps is twice what factory lp takes, so would probably need to re-wire w/relay.

For that price, give it a shot!

Being a vane pump it should.

Being a vane it may flow depending where the vanes are when it stops it also may not flow.

Lift pump that the older Dodges were vane and if vane paddles stopped in wrong place it stopped fuel flow, bad ju-ju down stream, probably our IPs would manage, but IMO not worth the risk.

What I'd do is plumb in parallel with OEM pump, that way if it quits the IP can still suck fuel thru the OEM pump, keep a gauge on the IP inlet so if vane pump fails you'll see the lift pressure drop off, then you can put power to the OEM pump and get home with you wired backup toggle switch, or you could get real fancy put a pressure switch on IP inlet and have it kick on the back up lift pump when pressure is below 2 psi.

My rig is set up with gauge and power monitoring LEDs so I know if I lose lift power or pressure I can turn on the pump I'm not running and get home. My normal haul mode is with the h/o Walbro, and backup or get home mode via the Heath h/o lift, both my pumps now relay powered with a isolation toggle switch for each lift pump, with control function of both pumps relay picked up by off OPS/PCM control side

One thing I notice it does not say Diesel fuel compatable might want to check that for service issues as well.

If you go with a pump like you posted you just a well do the mod. for larger line from fuel monitor to IP or your "peeing in the wind".

Agreed that is why I came up with the FTB idea/mod from filter manager to IP, to get full benefit, you also need to open the 4 holes in the IP inlet fitting under the screen. A FTB I made for Bill is on LSR and ran at Bonneville.
 
I have a Holley blue 110 gph set at 13 psi on my 6.2 it works ok,but diesel fuel slows it down some,I think diesel fuel might cut the gph in half,they are also pretty noisy. If money is not an issue I would go with Air Dog. The pump your looking at is probably a China version of Holley,it looks identical. If you don't run thicker fuel than diesel it should work,Bully Dog sells a Holley like this for the Cummins.
 
I called the guy about three months ago. I was considering it as a back up for a 5.9 cummins. He said it's not for diesel as far as he knows and they had no one (at that time) who used it for diesel and reported any feedback to them. Not worth the trouble and saving 5 cents might cost you BIG bucks.

I bought a FASS so I could quit thinking about lift pumps! Then I bought a Chevy. First thing I have to do is determine if the lift pump was working!

Probably your flt mgr cutting it in 1/2?

I have a spin on filter with 1/2 inch hose from the pump to the filter the rest is 3/8,the factory filter is long gone. If you ever transfered gas with a Holley pump,and then used it for diesel you would understand the gph difference,but it still works just not as good. Not all of us can afford to spend $600 for a lift pump. I'm thinking about using a powerstroke lift pump for my Cummins,my factory one is very shot,and when it was good it couldn't keep up at full throttle. I'm tempted to use a Holley but I want more pressure than they can make.
