 Topic: 226 engine fuel pump?
Posted: 03 Aug 2015 at 3:07pm |

Hi gang,
I am in need of a new fuel pump for my D grader with the 226 engine. My parts manual does not have the fuel pump in it and any help on a part number for a fuel pump for the 226 would be greatly appreciated!
Krusty,
PS it is always funny when someone stops in to get a tour of the old D grader and sure enough it leads to an offer to buy it. But it just isnt forsale :)

My D grader is still gravity fed from the overhead tank but if yours has been modified with a lower tank and a fuel pump then the engine may have come off a Gleaner combine as they used a fuel pump.

Hope you are doing well out on the "Left Coast" as I call it in good humor! That makes sense. I still have the upper tank and may just revert it back to a gravity line for ease. The problem with my current setup is that there is a sediment bowl at the tank and also one attached to the fuel pump. The one at the fuel pump is slightly deformed and the gasket is leaking. I tried to make a new gasket out of thick cork but it is just too deformed to get a good seal.
Thx! I will still try and find a fuel pump though as it is bugging me. Works like a charm otherwise.

Been through this with one of our fuel filters.
Have good look at the (I presume) bowl and then work out how to recreate an equivalent.
Might be easier than a new pump
My 2 cents worth

Good morning. I have about six 'D' graders around this Central and Western Ontario area. They are all gravity fed. I removed the sediment bowl, and replaced it with a good quality On/Off mechanical ball valve, and put an inline fuel filter (automotive style) from NAPA in line, on my grader.
. So far, so good.
Ross.

Ross,
If you ever come across a spare tank for a D pls let me know. Mine has a modest leak I should fix at some point too.

Hi Krusty. Where are you located? What style of grader do you have, an eight inch round front beam, or an eight inch square beam? Do you have any pictures of the grader?
It will probably be difficult to find another fuel tank. There were two different sizes. The early ones were a lot smaller in size and capacity. The air breathers mounted differently.
Ross.

Two silly notes on 'sediment bowls'... First, is that inline fuel filters are nice... they're a catch screen... manufacturers frequently such a filter in the adapter fitting in the carbeurator, as well as a mesh filter screen in the TOP of the sediment bowl... but they included a sediment bowl in because they were intent on keeping crud from plugging up the filter. They ALSO realized that moisture would accumulate in the tank, and that a filter would NOT stop moisture, nor indicate it's presence like a sediment bowl, SO... if you're serious about having a reliable machine, keep the sediment bowl, inspect it's contents and empty it regularly.
Next, look very closely at the 'sediment bowl' in the fuel pump. It may be a genuine sediment bowl, OR... you may find that it's actually plumbed into the bottom of the pivot cavity of the fuel pump. If it's the latter, it's not a 'sediment bowl', but actually a visual indicator of fuel pump diaphram failure. When the diaphram develops a leak, fuel passes through, fills the pivot cavity, and eventually starts pumping into the crankcase of the engine. This clear bowl serves as a visual indication that you're about to thin your fuel out substantially, and that mebbie you'd want to do something about it, rather than killing the bearings.
