Question: 1792 failed what other options

Did you cut yours open? I still am wondering what Kennedy was referring to when he told Ralph to cut it open
What kind of pump did you replace yours with?!?!
Same manufacturer but different model pump. BIG DIPPER is sending me 2 of them next week.

Don't want to cut it open till the new ones get here. I will post pictures then.
I haven't done anything with mine yet it's just laying here and what do you mean by cut it open? I called Edelbrock to see if there was a rebuild kit but no luck all I got was a guy that was freak out about how it was not for diesel applications :rofl:
All lift pumps fail, some faster, some slower.
The 1792 has given us better life than the Carter or Holley, so that's why I recommend it.

Maybe you could send it to PPE have have them rebuild it and replace the gaskets with the ones they use in the PPE lift pump?
Our 1792 failed within less than a year of installing it, and that was about 8 months ago, and our PPE revised version is working out a lot better
WICKED DIESELS
you need more fuel
Yeah, those were my discoveries. I was in constant contact with Tim at Essex, the pumps manufacturer. I came up with a Nitrile seal to replace the Viton seal, which would expand due to the aromatics of ULSD, not to mention they were installing the seal upside down. We installed a National seal #350435. The next area of concern is the motor shaft, it is not induction hardened, but needs to be. We also incorporated a weep hole (our pumps) in the pump body. In the event of seal failure, fuel would bypass the bearing and drip outside. Common failure is the seal eating into the shaft, fuel bypassing the seal, washing out the bearing, motor filling with diesel and quickly burning out the brushes. The success of the PPE pump, is because of all of our failures, that I paid for.
