The press fit vacuum tubes on my M38 fuel pump don't want to stay in place. What could I use on them that may work. Is there an epoxy or something else that will withstand heat? I know its a press fit but would red threadlocker work? Thanks. _________________ 1952 M-38 # 53623 - 2-52. M 416 trailer. |

The vacuum tubes coming off the fuel pump are supposed to be 1/4" inverted flare fittings... not press on fit... only press to fit fitting that would be in that area is the connection to the wipers after the "Tee"... _________________ Hal, KB1ZQ

I don't recall the brand but it's a new pump. I'll check in the morning. I've thought about tapping it so I can use screw in fittings. I already have the small pipe thread taps. _________________ 1952 M-38 # 53623 - 2-52. M 416 trailer. |

do you have a civilian pump with two curved tubes off the bottom section? If so, careful use of JB weld should work fine _________________ Gary Keating

M38 vacuum pump
Civilian jeep fuel pump
While you are putzing with your substitute pump what type pump did you remove? Some use a spacer to control pump output pressure. If you aren't sure either way at least use a pump pressure gauge on intial startup so you can be sure the pump is putting out the correct pressure. That is if you have the stock YS637S carb???? _________________ Wes K

Yes Keats it's a civilian pump. I'll consider the JB-Weld. Wesk, we discussed the spacer some time ago and I was told it needed the 1/8" spacer, which I now have. Thanks to all. I appreciate it. _________________ 1952 M-38 # 53623 - 2-52. M 416 trailer. |
