Subject:Re: 82' Diesel 1.6 NA Injector leakage

Hi Frank! Hope the window is still doing good for ya! I had a similar issue
on Velma last year! The injection pump has its own syphon pump built in to
draw from the tank. Which end of the pump is it leaking? The front side by
the timing belt or the back side towards the injection lines? I have a
3-7psi fuel pump between tank and filter that I only use after changing
filter or draining the water out of the filter other than that I only use
it to bleed any air out between tank and injection pump.

Most likely the booster pump was added due to the main injector pump being
shot. Common leak point is the pump haft seal-bushing. This leak point also
causes the pump to loose prime often making starting difficult. The pump
probably needs a rebuild. The windshield washer pump may not be compatible
with diesel fuel so that may also become a leakage-fire source.
