[C320-list] Replace Lift Pump?

[Michael Leschisin]

Hey John,

I’m considering replacing engine fuel lines this fall when I winterize.  The line running out of the fuel filter and up to the injector pump is some what distorted at the hose clamp and has a bit of a drip.  When you replaced your fuel lines what source did you use?  I’m sure I can get “pre-cut to length” lines from a Yanmar dealer but I figure any quality diesel fuel line from an automotive or tractor parts store would do the trick for much less cost.

Thanks,

Michael

I'm replacing all the fuel lines simy due to age and the Racor primary filter assembly (broken prime pump and it leaked at bowl fittings requiring silicone) I was considering replacing the lift pump with the spare I bought a few years ago. My question is, how long is the service life of a lift pump? The 1999 3GM30F engine has 650 hours.
