Should have put a lift pump before this happened

[Veikra]

I fueled up at a weird station going to pick up a car, and the truck was running weird the next day. Didnt open the hood, figured its the fuel anyways.

I had a delivery to do today, so had the trailer on thus decide to do the delivery, and then go home and dump the fuel tomorrow(sunday)

Welp, never made it back, 2 stop sign before getting on the highway to go home, truck shut off, leaked fuel all over the place as I tried to reprime.

Friend I left from came, saw I left a left of fuel, and puddle at every stop signs.


I went to reprime, and fuel shot out of a pin hole in the fuel line going to the test port.

RESULTS: Air got sucked in the cp3 all day, and I believe blew up the plug under the cp3.

Had I had a lift pump, i would have leaked all the fuel out and not blown the pump.

Sucks it didnt make it to half a million

Original CP3? How many miles did it have?

The good news is the CP3 rarely sends debris downstream, so you probably only have to replace the pump itself, not necessarily the injectors.

only had 425 000km on it

It popped the typical plug underneat. And good thing about the debris I was worried about that.

Should I just change the pump then and do the injectors later?

Bummer about the cp3, but dont be so sure a lift pump would of saved it. Why are you thinking you need to do the injectors after the cp3?

A lift pump would have prevented my pump from sucking in air all day. I would have ran out of fuel without damages, just a smelly truck and angry bikers following behind

Or I could have pulled over and checked earlier, tightened a clamp and be good but too busy making money

Well I already stopped the truck, so while I have downtime from it, I can take care of that pesky p1093 all at once
