R.E.D Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello fellas. Quick update.Since replacing fuel pump truck has gained about 0.3 mpg .I guess the fuel pump is one of those things we have to throw a gauge in once in a while to make sure we are up to spec on pressure.for a sec I couldn't believe it but I started noticing that I could get a couple of extra loads with the same amount of fuel .😁 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57548-mack-cv-bad-fuel-pump/page/2/#findComment-428206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjh Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Yup I would have thought you would have had more poor starting symptoms with a pump that bad! the loosing prime thing happens more often than a low power complaint! We had the loss of prime thing happen the last week ! We checked ALL the normal things with no luck pressure was ok but fluctuating some so we changed out the pump! Once the pump changed ,ALSO no luck we were stumped ! The truck would run after cranking for ever to get it to start If u turned it off it would not start a minute later! reminded me of an MP engine with bad cups ! So I checked The fuel return fuel was full of bubbles just foam The whole time since these engines have been around I have NEVER seen this! So rolled the dice and pull the injectors had em tested! 4 would Not pop test AT ALL the guys gauge maxed out the other 2 were just slobbering fuel it was amazing the engine ran at all ! funny thing is it really didn't sound bad ! Anyway just another Shit happens occurrence Kind like your fuel pump ! Again Good find on the pump Red !

I did run into hard starting situation but for the remainder of the week I would pump the hand primer until hard and it would crank and studder.i could not have the one truck down that week and anyway the pump was not in town.i was Lucky no shavings got thru the fuel filter otherwise all the injectors would have been FUBAR. and thanks again to all of you who take the time to help a bulldog when it's sick.😁 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57548-mack-cv-bad-fuel-pump/page/2/#findComment-428239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
