Default Radix fuel pump

Does anyone know for sure which pump comes with the RADIX kit. I have the inline pump and loose pressure up top. I can't remember what size it is so I'm not sure that it's running out of fuel or if I have something else going on.

Depends on when you got your kit. The older kit (2003) came with an inline pump (not sure which one) and a small heat exchanger, but the new kit comes with an in-tank pump and larger heat exchanger if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe it would be best to call Magnuson. Please let us know what you find out about the fuel pump...I'm interested in the answer.

I got the inline pump and the larger heat exchanger, I think I was one of the first kits with the updated HE standard.

Inline pumps were used on the '03 or older trucks. In-tanks are used now because of the returnless system on the '04+.

Flyer, personally I never had a problem with losing pressure up top on mine. I never really liked the general idea of an inline pump though. I would just replace it with a high-flow in-tank Walbro. Don't know if that's your problem or not.

What size?

I'm almost thinking that I need to check that oring in the regulator again. It holds pressure OK, but maybe at 60+ it just doesn't hold very well.

I'll catch you on MSN to talk about this later. Maybe we can work something out.
