I posted a few weeks ago about the electric fuel pump on my Universal 25XPB diesel quitting. The engine immediately shut down. There was no cam driven fuel pump. There is a plate that covers the spot where a cam driven pump should be.
Fortunately I had a spare fuel pump. We were in open waters where we could sail while I changed it. Had it happened in confined waters the outcome may have been different. -- Dennis C.
