Description of Change: A new fuel transfer pump has been introduced for use on 3054 and 3054B engines. The new one-piece fuel transfer pump must not be disassembled. A strainer is installed on the inlet side of the fuel transfer pump. The strainer must be cleaned after every 500 hours or after every 12 months. The removal procedures and the installation procedures that are used on the new fuel transfer pumps are identical to the procedures that are used on previous fuel transfer pumps.

The new fuel transfer pump comes as a kit. The kit includes the gasket for mounting the fuel transfer pump to the engine. The 121-3221 Gasket that is used on the new fuel transfer pump is identical to the gasket that is used on previous fuel transfer pumps. A 201-0878 Filter Kit is installed on the inlet side of the new fuel transfer pump.

Adaptable To: The new 201-0877 Fuel Transfer Pump is a direct replacement for the former 121-3220 Fuel Priming Pump Gp. The new fuel transfer pump is adaptable to 3054 (S/N: 2PW1-UP; 4ZK1-UP; 5YS1-UP; 6FK1-UP) engines and 3054B (S/N: 5MF1-UP) engines.
