I had a similar problem with the lift pump on my Beta 28. The tank location compared to the lift capability of the Beta was marginal, even tho the lift pump was working ‘fine’. My diesel mechanic recommended bypassing the mechanical lift pump and using an electric pump. Installed it with a switchable spare( electric pump had built in filter) and no more problems! Might be a better and cheaper solution than another mechanical lift pump.

So, if I understand recent responses to my recent post on running out of fuel at less than an empty tank, the theory is that with a weak fuel lift pump at a certain fuel level in the tank, the pump would stop lifting fuel, thereby causing the engine to run out of fuel. So, guess I’ll take a shot at replacing it and seeing if that solves the problem. Anyone replace the fuel lift pump on a Yanmar 3HM35F? I am wondering if the arm that rides the cam is above the at recast engine oil level. thx Tom BuscagliaS/V Alera 1990 C&C 37+/40Vashon WAP 206.463.9200C 305.409.3660 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
