I have a puzzle to try and figure out. A friend brought his truck to me because it was bucking and surging. I drove it, it was. I checked fuel pressure and found zero fuel pressure from the lift pump. Truck was running without lift pump fuel pressure. He said to me he had just replaced that intank pump about a year ago. This truck had the original lift pump on the side of the engine replace ten or twelve years ago so this is the second intank pump. What I found was when I bypassed the relay the pump would run, put out about 14.5 PSI. I found that the in line fuse that is in the power feed line to the relay was disintegrated. The only thing left were the prongs of the fuse. When I put a new fuse it the pump ran but the fuse holder got very hot to the touch. I checked amperage draw of the pump, it was 1.48 amps. Is this to much and causing the fuse holder to get hot and the fuse to disintegrate? Or did the previous intank pump cause this when it went out? I check the amperage draw on my truck with the FASS pump and it’s only .5 amps. Now that I have pump pressure restored the truck runs great.
