Testing fuel pumps


david052

Question

As the fuel pump on my CVRT was submerged underwater for goodness knows how long it strikes me that I need to test it before reinstalling all the fittings around and about it. It has positive and negative obviously, but also a suppressor of some sort. Is it simply a case of hooking it up to a battery and seeing if it whirrs, or is there more to it than that (I'm sure there is!)? A search on the Net would indicate that also I need to consider how much it can actually pump as well, but I am slightly reluctant to hook it up to a jerrycan, 'elf and safety and all that... What is my best option? I recall seeing new ones as well on the net, but couldn't find them again when I went searching.

 

Cheers!

Thanks for the link.

 

Yes, in an ideal world simply connecting it up and pressing the 'launch' button would be the way forward, but at the moment it is sitting in the shed outside my house and the CVRT is 25 miles up the road... Plan B is called for!
