A fair question on the pump, but go ahead and try to find a shop in the US that will do it. For liability and epa reasons most will not send a pump out the door with anything other than factory fuel level in a passenger car.
No one in the US can put larger diameter elements into an MW pump, because those elements are a custom design and the only person who has them is dieselmeken. He would sell them and you could have a shop here install them if they would do it.You could also switch to an m-pump from the mw and there are several makers of larger elements for those pumps. If you can find a shop to install them, you could send away for elements and have the pump rebuilt here and set for more fuel also. This would be the best option if insane fueling and boost are planned/desired. Cummins pumps are completely different. The mechanical pumps on the earlier motors can be tuned by the user with a few simple adjustments: http:// dieseldatabase.com/turning-up-a-p7100-pump/ Some 4bt and 6bt motors came with Lucas CAV pumps, which are completely different and not as simple to adjust, but they are adjustable also. These were mostly in marine and industrial gen set and pump applications and the pumps had no Alda mechanism. Later cummins 5.9 motors use electronic pumps that are tunable with chips of course.
