Title: Cummings Fuel Transfer Pump Leak
Post by: IFM123 on May 21, 2019, 09:27:12 pm
Back again. The coach is home and doing the next round of updates and repairs. Now. I noticed a fuel leak when in Galveston in April and thought it was a leaking from the fuel water separator pet cock. Nope. Came back on our last trip out in Eastern Kansas and saw a bigger leak. Looks like the fuel transfer pump is leaking internally. What's the best way to order the correct part and are there any pitfalls to watch for when replacing it? Can you reseal it and would that be worth doing? Photo of the culprit attached.

Ian, I see from your subject you are referring to a Cummins engine. Adding your engine model to your signature would help to better know how to answer.

Here is a thread on our lift pump:

All U280's have Cummins 8.3C
All U300's have Detroits.

Except 1995's where CATs made up about 90% and M11s the other 10% of U300s. Just guessing on the percentage. At least three different transmissions too.

Thanks everyone for the input. Turns out the Cummins shop here in Wichita has two in stock! Picking one up after work for a little over $100 bucks.
