Fuel Pumps For Cummins Marine & Industrial Engines

Introduction: Reliable Fuel Delivery for Peak Cummins Engine Performance

When it comes to powering heavy-duty equipment and marine vessels, Cummins engines are known for their strength, longevity, and rugged dependability. Whether your Cummins engine is running on a commercial fishing boat, a tugboat, or in a power generator at a remote industrial site, fuel delivery is everything. A dependable fuel pump ensures that your engine runs smoothly, starts reliably, and maintains fuel pressure under demanding loads.

At Diesel Pro Power, we specialize in mechanical lift pumps and fuel transfer pumps for a wide range of Cummins diesel engines. We stock high-quality aftermarket replacement parts that are often more durable than OEM options — and we include matching gaskets and seals for a complete repair solution.

What Is a Mechanical Lift Pump?

A mechanical lift pump is a low-pressure fuel pump typically mounted on the engine block. Its job is to draw fuel from the tank and supply it to the injection system at the correct pressure.

Key Functions:

Draws diesel fuel from the tank
Maintains consistent low-pressure flow to the engine
Supports starting and idle operation
Prevents vapor lock and fuel starvation

Unlike electric pumps, mechanical pumps rely on engine camshaft rotation to operate. They're rugged, reliable, and perfectly suited to Cummins marine and industrial applications.

What Is a Fuel Transfer Pump?

A fuel transfer pump moves fuel either:

From tank to engine (in systems with remote tanks)
Between tanks (e.g., saddle tanks)
As a pre-supply pump before the mechanical lift pump

Transfer pumps are commonly used in:

Marine engine rooms
Commercial fuel systems
Generator applications
Auxiliary fuel setups

We offer Cummins-compatible transfer pumps engineered for constant duty in harsh environments. Many of our pumps are suitable for both diesel and biodiesel blends, ensuring flexibility for modern fuel systems.

Common Signs of Fuel Pump Failure in Cummins Engines

A faulty lift pump or transfer pump can cripple your entire fuel system. Look out for these warning signs:

Hard Starting or No Start

The engine may crank but fail to fire due to a lack of fuel pressure.

Engine Stalling or Hesitation

Especially under load or acceleration, poor fuel flow can cause the engine to stall or lag.

Fuel Leaks at Pump or Mount

Check for wetness around the pump body or fuel lines. Failed gaskets are common and require replacement.

Loss of Power

Inconsistent or low fuel delivery affects power output. This is especially dangerous during marine operations.

Excessive Pump Noise or Vibration

Transfer pumps that whine or buzz loudly may be failing or sucking air.

Diagnostic Codes (For Newer Models)

Modern Cummins ECMs may detect fuel pressure irregularities and throw codes.
