Low pressure fuel pump not working

[kko]

Do you have a link to the pump? I can't find it on skidim. I have been having vapor lock problems and wonder if that is the cause.

your boat is different from his. Youhave a marine power eng right??

Yes sir. I guess I should have read the thread closer.

Marine power has a fix for the vapor lock, it involves changing the fuel return to the fuel tank, they have a tee that goes to the high pressure pump and the tank.

Thanks, Dom.

Ok, I try my boat out today and it runs great for about 2 minutes, then begins to sputter... then dead. Troubleshooting later, I get down to the fact that the high pressure fuel pump will pump, but the in-tank pump is not (if I unhook the supply hose to the HP pump, nothing comes out). I didn't have my electrical stuff with me and am going to be checking power to the pump but my guess is there is no power.

Assuming no power to in-tank pump, what causes will I be lookking at?

Is it possible that I could have an in-tank pump issue?

Didn't this problem crop up alot? The fuel line was close to the engine or something like that, and the fuel heated abit and creating an air lock? The fix was a return tube of some fashion. Harvey at Tige would know?

Yep, MarinePower is sending me a retrofit kit now.
