diesel leak

[The Great Pretender]

The leak at the back of the pump is from the nut in the middle of the injector outlets. Replaced mine with a standard metric o ring. The problem is the nut is triangular, I machined up a socket to fit it, believe others have found a way around it.

I got the correct socket from Merlin Diesel Systems http://www.merlindiesel.com

Part number T016-273 Socket VE

Cost £26 inc p&p

sounds like the problem i have with diesel leak. i was told that there is a lot of heat generated where the diesel pump is located & the heat makes the o' rings harden. if i replace o'ring it will probably happen again, so im having the pump overhauled. its expensive been quoted £500 for all work, but i think it will be better in the long term.
