DIESEL PUMP FIXES TO AVOID EXPENSIVE REBUILDS AND CURE LEAKS!!!!

[oli larsen]

Hey everyone. Recently my Jdm Townace developed a selection of diesel leaks after a stint of cold weather. I have owned a few diesels now and dread the day I smell diesel. If your lucky its a pipe, if your unlucky it's something to do with the pump!!!

I have the RM025E service manual but that aside no other literature on the pump. The manual has schematics which are invaluable. It is however designed to explain a rebuild of the pump. That is a last case resort if you can't fix the leaks that I will explain in this little guide.
From extensive researching on old defunct forums and what I could dig up I found it's very common for the pumps to start leaking between 60 thousand miles and 95. Not an exact science but it's a common problem.
Mine is on around 80 thousand so fits the bill!

I will cover the 4 fixes you can relatively easily do at home.
They DO NOT require the pump to be removed and can be done in situ using parts that are pretty easy to get hold of at little cost!

First up are the two pages of the manual that are vital for part location reference!
Following these I will break each section down.
