Forum,
I have a '41 R2 Caterpillar that has developed a leaky fuel pump. Not too knowledgeable about vintage fuel pumps but believe it involves a diaphragm. Does anyone have any hints of finding such a fuel pump. If I can not find a pump I may move to gravity feed. It looks possible if I have no air bound possibilities. Last question is why did they use fuel pumps and not gravity feed? Any and all thoughts are welcome.
Thanks
