Hi,

I have used one of these New Zealand made plastic bodied solid state electric pumps. It has been in series between the primary filter(Racor 500) and the engine for the last 2 years for priming and as a back up for the engine lift pump for our Yanmar.

No corrosion or electrical noise.

It doesn't take much to do this job.. I have one like this attached to my engine base as a backup if the lift pump fails. It has run my honking big Detroit Diesel 4-53. At $21, it's good protection.

Carter P4594. Quiet. Runs forever.
It’s a vane pump and you can clean it. There is a small screen inside.
About $60 but worth it. Available at auto stores everywhere.
Used in refrigerator trucks, hot rods, aircraft.
Not suitable to pump beer at manatee pizza parties.
Happy trails to you.

For what it’s worth, I have found out recently that a good lift pump adds years and years of service to your injector pump by doing all the ....

Wait for it...

Heavy LIFTING for the injector pump. It takes a lot of stress off the injector pump and eliminates cavitation, etc in the injector pump.
