wanted m170 fuel pump should be same as m38A1

dozenjeeps

I am having oil blown out the exhaust on my m170 and I think that is because of the fuel pump not operating correctly... anybody have one or know where I can buy one... have not had any luck yet looking ...thanks

You might try MWM, AJP, or Peter DeBella. I just bought one from Peter (haven't gotten it yet, but it is on the way). Their prices are comparable. Peter has both the double chamber ones (requires core) and the glass bowl type (no vacuum chamber, but can see fuel flow). I am not sure about the others, but I am sure they will be more than happy to talk to you

On the other hand, oil in the exhaust sounds suspiciously (sp?) like a gasket problem to me, but I am just a dumb electrician. . .

A leaking fuel pump vent cavity usually looses a little oil through the vent hole in the middle of its body and allows the PVC system to suck it through the vacuum side of the pump if that chamber developes a leak to the center vent cavity. If the fuel pump side of the pump developes a leak to the vent caviyt in the center you will find fuel rapidly thinning out the oil in your oil sump.

The best bargain out there on a rebuilt dual action M38 fuel pump is Then & Now http://www.then-now.com/

Thanks guys, called Peter yesterday and he does have some on the shelf.... also found out that I could get a kit to rebuild it..but I am a little afraid of that and am leaning on the exchange with pete... thanks again..

Does Pete have a kit to rebuild the entire fuel pump or just half? I have not decided if I am going to attempt a rebuild or send mine in. How much is the rebuild kit?

Hi, I believe it was 45.00 but I am afraid of a rebuild as I could have other problems after reading the THEN AND NOW site on rebuilding... seems that sending it in to get a rebuild done would be the smartest way to go for a novice.... good luck.. craig

You're probably right. Last time I checked it was about $125 from Then & Now to rebuild the fuel pump. Then add another $20 shipping. That price is pretty reasonable to have some one who knows what they are doing rebuild my fuel pump.
