paulnb57 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Folks I have diesel leak from the back of the Fuel Injection Pump, where the four metal pipes come out of the back to feed to the injectors, the leak appears to be from the centre of the housing the 4 pipes exit from, I can't see particularly well but there appears to be an allen bolt (?) in the centre of the housing and that appears to be where its leaking from, can I fix it or is it a specialisy jobby?

paulnb57 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I believe the housing is called the distributor head and the leak seems to be from the centre of it.... Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 remove the bolt, should be a standard hex head but the size escapes me, replace the copper washer or was it an o-ring? Cant remember now but its one of the two and stick the bolt back in. Diesel will tiddle everywhere while you do it emptying the pump so it'll take some cranking to start it again.

paulnb57 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thanks VB will do, managed to find a diagram online but wasnt sure if I would disturb anything by removing the bolt..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulnb57 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Sorted by removing the bolt, reversing the Copper washer and reassembling, Sods law these things happen when I cant get to a shop, but will replace the Copper washer with a new one, cant for the life of me work out why it decided to start leaking though..... Thanks VB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
