RE: [DML] Testing Fuel Pump; Out of vehicle

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason,
Take a gallon of mineral spirits from Wal-Mart or somewhere like that and
put a hose on the bottom of your fuel pump that goes about 1" from the
bottom when the pump is sitting on the opening. I like the Wal-Mart brand
because you can see the fluid thru the container. Then your going to have to
hook up a 12mm banjo bolt to the output of the pump and about 12 to 18" of
hose to it.
Put the output hose in another gallon glass jar or something you can see in.
Then while you hold the pump have someone hook up the 12 volts to it and
watch it pump. Naturally be careful that nothing is around that will ignite
the mineral spirits. Even though it has a lower flash point always err on
the side of caution.

I removed the fuel pump and boot from my D and the boot is completely
erroded, and I'll have to replace it. But since my fuel pump is out
already how would I go about testing it to make sure it works
properly?
