Im having a fuel pump problem on one of my skids. Suntec A2VA-7116 fuel pump. 12v beckett burner.
All of the sudden the fuel pump stopped working. But it was drawing fuel and returning it thru the return line. But there was no fuel pressure. I put a guage on the guage port to verify this. I checked all the filters and replaced the racor just to be sure.
I replaced the pump with a new spare I had. All the fittings are tight, no air leaks. New fuel in tank. Pump pressures up and had 140psi at port line. 30 minutes after running it looses fuel pressure. Turn off machine, turn back on and fuel pump runs for 10 seconds at 140 then goes to 0, no fuel pressure again.
Im baffled.
I have:
New pump.
All fittings are tight.
New racor filter.
Clean fuel.
Good charged up battery, igniter works fine.
I need some imput here.
Thanks
