Can a 3208 road fuel pump be used on a marine engine ? MWFI offers a rebuilt road pump for $803 vs $2,340 quoted by CAT for a marine engine. I can't understand why they would be different. Any advice or information on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter Smith.

The basic pump is the same up to 375HP, but there are some differences in the governor and in some csase the camshaft , so be careful what you are buying, the settings and governor springs will be different. Above 375hp, the marine pump is different, it has larger pump elements and the one with smaller pumps just will not deliver the horsepower.

Catsilver, Thanks for your response. I will steer clear of a "road" solution. Peter.

Are you sure you need your pump rebuilt? If you have been changing your filters properly and buying good fuel it might be fine.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
