Can thia be used in a continuous duty cycle, i.e running all the time? I want to replace the manual vacuum pump in my 1986 Isuzu Trooper DL TD diesel.

This pump fixed all my vaccume problems on my street truck. I had vaccume loss from a more aggressive Cam that I installed. The only way to describe this pump is comperitive to a high performance Mercedes pump that they used for the same problem. It's very compact and performs very well. Wich is the reason why I chose this pump. All the others you see for sale are so large and bulky and cannot perform any better than this pump.

I was under the impression that it was designed for exactly that. However the one I purchased did not last 6 months.

First off, cool car! The pump works fine for continuous use. However, I would suggest wiring it with a relay and a toggle switch. When in heavy traffic or idleing for a long time the pump can overheat. Try to mount it in a place where it gets plenty of airflow. Also be careful starting it in extreme cold because the condensation can freeze and cause it to self destruct.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

I would assume so... You could have a fuel line splitter or... Attach a manual valve which directs the flow towards on line or another. My engine sucks the fuel and does not require an electric pump. But if I needed to run a separate motor, I am sure there is a safe way to do it somehow.

The pump will run all the time. There are 4 air outlets which are always pumping air. Manifolds can be purchased to regulate or shut off air flow.

This vacuum pump manually operated, I assume if you can run the plastic tube to the transmission fluid, then you can pump it out.

i takes a lot pumping.i use it for my motorcycle cause its light but i do have to pump to 35 ils.if you have a car get a electric

it would be rather expensive to run this 24/7 but it can be used continiously (longest mine runned so far was 9hr non stop - entire house including A./C and sump and macerator pump) however if you are going to run all the time !!! pick one with a v Twin engine

Mine is bolted into the bed of my pickup truck, that I drive everyday. It is full of diesel most of the time also. No problems either.

it is a vacuum pump - it should never contact the refrigerant. CB is correct - you will probably require a flare adapter

Yes. J.Hall describes it best, but it is a vacuum type pump - very nice and efficient.

I bought mine for a semi truck, I've used it pretty much 24/7 for just under 4 years. It just gave up the ghost and I'm ordering a replacement now. I figure anything over 3 years of continuous duty is a good product.

What if you want the pump because you go on a vacation. You cannot always get the use of a vacuum cleaner. Were going to Europe and I do not know if they will let me use the vacuum.

I don't see why not. The hoses should hold up. It has a rotary pump, so that is unaffected. You may have to change the filter more often because, in my mind, diesel fuel is "dirtier". No big deal as long as you can get to it to change it. Remember it is alow pressure pump and in supercold weather the fuel may wax, and the pump becomes non-functional until the temps go up.

No. The pump has an internal vacuum regulating switch but to power the pump you can either power it through the ignition switch or a separate switch. Mine is powered by a relay piloted by the ignition switch.

I have used the pump 11times in 2 months and the oil level is exactly where it started when I filled it after purchase. I will change the oil due to contamination from the vacuuming process however.

yes, it is for continuous run. I have had my running continuously since about 2005!

I am not sure. I used my for gasoline. Since gasoline is more volatile, I cannot see why it could not pump diesel fuel. Contact Airtex for their recommendation. They have a great support staff. When diagnosing the fuel pump in my 2003 Ford E450 RV, I needed to know the pin locations on the fuel pump connector. Wiring diagrams only go so far. Airtex was able to supply that information.
