Did you get that pump from Hungry Diesel for the VE? If you did.... that's a 14 or 15psi pump, not enough. He changes them to a low pressure spring for the VE. Call him.... but I am sure you can just get a stock 2nd Gen spring, install it, and have the correct pump. I ran 3/8 line to my VE from the pump...what I don't remember is if I used adapter fittings or what LoL  I can look-see in the morning for you.....
Hungry Diesel...sounds familiar, not sure. Found him on 1stGen.com  I think he drives a Cummins RC like you. Sold me that little tach too...

I an currently running a 1/2 line from the sump to the mechanical pump, I am running Hungry Diesel modified piston pump and I have a low pressure light from a Gen2 setup and I had a gauge on it when I first installed just to see what I had it was around if I remember correctly.  The only reason I did that was if I ever wanted to run a turned up Ppump motor I already had everything in place.  But I am running a VE setup right now.

1.  P/N 4988747 pump "unmodified"
2.  P/N 3914753 Fuel Tube  from pump to fitler housing
3.  P/N 3914284  Spacer
4.  P/N 3963983  sealing washer
5.  P/N ???????  mounting gaskets 2ea cant find the bag!!

BTW everything was made in China from Cummins.
So according to Norm, I need to swap out the pump spring...should be easy if I can find the spring

Now about the spacer...Use it or lose it on a P-Pump motor?

Dan the Man finished up the aux tank I had him build for Square D

Here is the pick up tube inside the tank:

The man does great work! You may recall that super heavy duty water/methanol tank he built which is resting within the frame rails in the back...This is more of the same!

This is the fuel level float from the inside with the internal baffle right behind it:

The tank as it sits now. I said it's finished, but actually Dan has to weld a small shelf on it to serve as a fuel pump mount.

Now about the spacer...Use it or lose it on a P-Pump motor?

I am pretty sure you can just get the standard Gen 2 piston pump, the reason I got the one from Hungry Diesel was the VE pump I'm running cant take the stock pressure of the Gen 2 lift pumps, the guy at Hungry Diesel changes the spring out on a new pump so that the pump only produces 10-12psi.  I believe you still need to run the spacer and just the standard pump from Cummins, I'm sure Norm can correct me if my assumption is not correct.

Norm suggested the Hungry Diesel pump to me also. Pricey but way less than a high end lift pump and should do you.

Says the piston is larger??

I think Don got the newer/larger pump iirc. He had a stocker, then changed to a larger one, then blocked it off. Don't remember mentioning a spring change tho.

No, I just bolted it on the way it changed
I used that spacer in the truck bed build as a bulkhead panel...remember?
So to use this pump I will need the mo-bigger spring, correct fittings, and figure out if I need that spacer or not.

Ugg. I thought Cummins were supposed to be easy.

...I do remember the spacer/bulkhead thing now. I don't know why, but originally I thought you were talking about some kind of spacer for the p pump.

Just finished up with Eric Gilbert, owner of Hungry Diesel. This is the second or third time I have dealt with him, he's good people. Like Norm he knows quite a bit about these Cummins engines.

So he boxed up a the proper spring, a spacer and some gaskets. Should be here before long so I'll get it installed and see if I can clear up the smoke screen some

I asked him if he is building them for public, and he said yes.

He can build nearly anything, but I'd say aluminum things is his specialty. If anyone is needing a specialized fuel or other tank, let me know

Im gone for a few weeks, and come back to pumps, springs, a calculus lesson, engineering marathon, more pumps, let's add spacers, white smoke, ect.....    :o

I suggested wait for new years, Don gave us the smoke, now just wait for the fireworks!

OK, the Hungry Diesel parts showed up, so I'm about to go active on this thing

Something else showed up

Dan finished construction of my auxiliary fuel tank. I forgot how much fuel it holds
10" X 16" X 62" = 9920 cu in

That equals 42.94 gal, so around 38 gallons extra

Total fuel onboard will be 74 gallons

Dan is opening a fabrication shop which can build bumpers, fuel tanks brackets, do-dads and who knows what. He is an experienced welder and owns some very capable machinery.

Here's some details of the tank, which has two internal baffles, not one

Really nice tank- don't paint it as it'll brighten up the bed as is.  I did just notice something on top of the cap- solar panels -are ripe for catching some branches etc. and getting torn off- did you already have a plan for preventing that?

Well, it's on the inside.
The inside of armored fighting vehicles, well some of them is white. Better for low illum opns as the wee little bit of light reflects all over showing your pearly white grill when you be skeered!

While over at Dan's shop today, he showed me this bumper he just fabbed up. He made this one out of 10 gage for his welding truck, and with no winch, but showing the quality of work he can produce. Keep in mind, this is all bent up from sheets of steel.

Nice tank and bumper.

Bumper is different and adding guards is easy.

As for the tank, just spray it with bedliner, the cheap stuff as it is protected and will easy to touch up.

Was thinking not to paint, but am now thinking some nice white paint to brighten up the inside of the bed might be nice!

SquareD is eagerly awaiting the fuel pump addition!

Don't paint the bed. The inside of the topper is white correct? If it still is, leave that white, you put/plan on putting lights or lightstrips inside there anyway.

IF all else fails just put some of those tap lights inside the topper, stuck to the roof, tap them on, then off when done. They can easily be removed, just leaves some hook and pile tape squares to reattach later.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are.  Take the appropriate action, Execute!

The inlet fitting is good to go, however the outlet needed some adapting to work.

To get this to work, Ansen over at Parker hose found a cool, British pipe thread fitting with a captured rubber O-ring that worked perfectly

I didn't know it, but that outlet would be at the wrong angle and way too close to the sound proof piece right above the fuel pump on the block

With a thin coat of RTV Black, the gaskets and spacer buildup is complete, and everything fits!

I solved the dilemma by installing two 1/4" NPT 45 degree fittings, clocking the whole thing to get me the perfect angle. With that done I attached the hoses, primed the mess and fired it up


and got this again!!!!!!
