My lift pump failed on my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 4wd with the 12 valve Cummins. I want to substitute an electric lift pump. Although easy to install after the fuel strainer/heater by splicing into the rubber hose, I don't want to pump through the old one as the diaphragms might fail and contaminate the oil with diesel.(oil is not contaminated) The fittings on the output of the mechanical pump look kind of funny and non standard. Looks like a bushing out of pump and then some kind of connector to the fuel/water separator. The original mechanical pump specs say 25psi is put out; not sure what would the low end be if I get a substitute electric pump. Any comments on how best to hook into the fuel water separator or the electric lift pump in general used with this truck?
