Gasser conversion, remove CIS fuel pump?
Gasser conversion, remove CIS fuel pump?
I've always thought an electric pre-pump would be a good idea for bleeding fuel through to the IP, but I guess that the CIS pump being about 60psi+ would be too high pressure to feed straight into the M series pump. Perhaps I should feed a standard fuel pressure regulator with it, then dump the return into the return line?
I know the P series cummins pumps seem to like a high fuel input pressure, what is the general concencus about this on the M series pumps?
Cheers all,

So I got thinking last night, when I swap the petrol engine out for the 606, I'm going to need to remove the CIS pressure pump that's under the boot floor area..... or am I?

That's my plan... I've got a gasser parts wagon that I'm going to take the CIS pump off of and put on my wagon when the time comes.

In addition, the fuel pressure within the pump body will be determined by the pressure relief setting on the fuel outlet banjo bolt.
Having the electric pump also makes any injection pump work/swaps, setting BOD, and fuel filter changes a breeze.
