Rotary/distributor pumps are lubricated exclusively via the fuel flowing
through them, and thus are vulnerable to the vagaries of fuel quality
(lubricity) and volume fluctuations at high RPMs. In short, they are less
reliable than inline pumps which are lubricated by engine oil. Inline pumps

M37Much cheaper to find than the Cummins and alot more quiet.
Probably be just for ramming around and parade duty anyway since I bought
a bigger truck.

You and everybody else. That's the problem!

They are not fast by any means but they will pull a huge load. The TH400
is a good tranny but it is still the weak point in that vehicle. The 4bt
has alot of torque and gets the automatics pretty hot. Put a big cooler
on it and run syn fluid.

Yup.
The rotary pump (Roosamaster, etc.) looks like a
distributor, only with pipes in place of wires. An
inline pump is just that, and what you're accustomed
to in your MB diesel(s).

What is wrong with the rotary pump?
FWIW the rotarty 4BT pump is the hot ticket when it comes to converting
the VW TDI to a non-electronic pump.

WOW! That's quite a chunk of change! Of course, this is biodiesel/vegoil
heaven, so anything goes.

Would it be easy to distinguish between the two by the orientation of the
injector lines in a circle rather than in-line like those on my 300SD?

It appears that the dragon boat club is ready to get a mobile transport unit
(MTU) to haul gear and boats to the local races. Meanwhile, I happened to
spot 2 of these Frito Lay trucks for sale on CL for around 4K, both with
fresh 4BT engines. They seem low tech and reliable with the mechanical
