leaking diesel pump
hello all! noticed a wonderful smell of diesel the other day so had a crawl around. the one thing I was dreading was an issue with the pump so I was pretty over the damn moon to see fuel all over the pump.
so today I had a full on root around the pump. it appears to be seeping from around the top plate. luckily the van still runs great so I'm guessing its just a few tired old o-rings and hopefully just the top gasket. so with any luck I can sort it without removing the pump!!!
AYWAY...... heres my question???
I've found a few seal kits from Bosch and other manufacturers for the hilux pumps of the same era. thy look similar in diagrams and on a few websites they state they will fit the 2ct pumps. does anyone stateside or anywhere in the world for that matter know of any kits out there???
Im really not keen on rebuilding the pumps it would have to be sent off to the uk or Australia/Japan. I can't lose the van for a few months waiting!!
Secondly I'm not keen on fitting a secondhand pump. mine has only covered 85k miles. I suspect its just the seals leaking as its had a change in lifestyle lately!!
has anyone had any experience of this or searched out any answers before. not having much joy....
