T3: leaking FI fuel pump -Reply


it really depends where the pump is leaking from-  I
successfully repaired a leaky one not to long ago-

It the leak is coming from the valve thingy (offshoot near
the return inlet) then I have no clue, but for leaks around
the cap then here goes....

the fuel pump is 3 peices when you take off the 4 screws on
top.  the lid, with all the hoses, a small ring 1/4" thinck
with an offset hole, and the main motor goodness.  there is
a seal in the lid and one in the ring-  both are like
o-rings only they have a scquare cross section.

When you take it apart, make sure you mark both the
placement and orientation of the ring-  youll have a mess if
you dont.  I Know.

when I got mine apart,i cleaned it up real good, then  I got
some permatex-  number 2, I think. the goopy stuff.  I
removed the seals, coated them, put them back in.  Mine were
really nasty and strethed pretty bad-  i had to cut 1/2 inch
to get it back in.  put another generous layer of permatex,
let it set for 10 minutes, then reassembled.  perfect!

have fun--!!
