Olivetroad Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am needing a used working fuel pump off a 6-71 Detroit in a 1979 IHC F-2275. The number off the pump is: 5177292 and it is a right hand rotation and not a high flow version.My local diesel shop can no longer get rebuild kits for these. It is going on a truck that I just want to run long enough to test out the crane mounted on it, so I hate to spend the money on a new one when I bet I scrap the truck anyway - let me know if you have anything Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23793-needed-usedfuel-pump-for-6-71-detroit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which side is the blower on, what side is the exhaust on, Inline engine? For a test jig only I'd plumb in an electic pump it it were me.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

What kind of pressure should I shoot for with a test pump only? I have rigged up shop air lines to the fuel tank before to move the fuel through, but I wish I knew what pressure I should shoot for - does that even matter on a Detroit? I wish I could get an old pump for it so I could move it around outside until I sell the crane.

An electric fuel pump for a carburated engine will work. You will need to adapt to the fittings. Just leave the mechanical pump in place on the engine or you will have one hell of an oil slick.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
