Cummins 8.3 QSC Starboard Impeller

Changing starboard impeller. Which direction should the vanes orient?

Here is current one:

It doesn't matter....once the engine fires up, they will all get oriented properly. The flexible vanes on the impellers act more like a positive displacement pump as opposed to a centrifugal pump. It will be fine.

Here we go.

Thank you!

Jaybeaux is correct, when the engine shuts down, the impellers get all skewed around. they straighten themselves out every time you start up.

Very good! New one installed without removing the pump. Dawn and zip ties made it happen rather painlessly.

Thanks for the info.

My friend bought one of these and we used it to change my impellers. If I had 2 children, I would have sold one to get this tool for myself. BUY IT, you won't be sorry

The dude built a better mouse trap, and deserves to get paid!
