Jennie Matthews Rebuilding a diesel fuel pump, especially for a complex component like an injection pump, is a meticulous process that often requires specialized tools and expertise. While the exact steps can vary depending on the pump type and manufacturer, here’s a general overview of the process:
- Initial Assessment: Complete visual inspection and preliminary testing to identify issues
- Disassembly: Careful disassembly with specialized tools to prevent component damage
- Cleaning: Thorough ultrasonic cleaning of all salvageable components
- Component Inspection: Inspection of all internal parts of the pump to identify and diagnose failure points.
- Parts Replacement: Replacement of all wear items, including seals, gaskets, bushings, as well as all worn hard parts that are found during inspection.
- Reassembly: Careful reassembly with proper torque specifications
- Calibration: Calibration and validation of the fuel pump to OEM specifications for proper timing and fuel delivery
- Final Quality Control: Final inspection, tagging, painting, and bagging up all needed install fittings and seals for the customer.
- Warranty Backing: Completed rebuild backed by our 2-year “repair and return” Fuel Injection Equipment warranty.
This process typically takes 7 business days at authorized Alliant Power service locations.
