Toyota Hilux 98 3RZ - Fuel Pump Not Priming

[sash78]

Hey Guys,

Im just in the process of installing my inline Bosch 910 Fuel Pump. What i have noticed is that the factory pump does not prime when i turn the key to ignition. I've checked for voltage when ignition is on, but cant seem to find 12V on any wire going to the fuel pump, but once the engine turns over i have 12V on the wire which runs to the fuel pump. Is this normal? or is there an issue?

The car runs fine, it has never stalled and idles fine.

Your help is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sash

Thanks guys,

Another question: The fuel line is steel. Do i need to get an 8mm pipe cutter and also flare the ends in order for me get the lines to the 910? or is there another way of doing this?

Cheers,

Sash
