Guys, a quick question as I am still learning a bit about my 83 300D with the OM 617. I always thought the injection pump was the only fuel pump on the car. Is it? Or am I wrong and their is another fuel pump on the car called the "lift pump"

Am I basically right in assuming the OP had his injection pump go bad and wants to replace it with an electric pump?

If the OM 617 has an additional pump besides the injection pump, please let me know so I can search for info on it. I'm thinking I might want to install an electric pump for peace of mind.

Glenn
