Forum:
right my turn after years of faithful service "ugh" my 1989 4 trak 2.8 turbo diesel is being a pain in the nether regions 70 odd miles from home the clutch cable breaks not really a problem just a pain thanks to the AA we get home. now i have a bit of a fuel leak from the top right hand joining union nut where the fuel line meets the pump i cant see in my manual if it as easy to just undo the union bolt and change the o seals or whether its going to get complicated i havent stripped a daihatsu pump before.
1 does anyone know the size of the o rings
2 am i gonna spend long hours in meaningful communication with me lump hammer stripping this bugger down or is it safe to remove the bolt a just fit new seals/o rings

If you cant find a replacement O ring send me a PM with the size in MM and i will be able to get one. A company opposite my office makes then and has examples on a board, i can just compare them and pull one out. FOC but will cost you a stamp!

fuel leak
Hi, is it one of the 17mm 'banjo' bolt that is leaking? If so you should be able to undo the bolt and replace the washers. If it has copper washers and they aren't too chewed up then you can 'anneal' them and refit them. Copper age hardens and need the washers need softening (annealing) for them to seal properly if disturbed. To Anneal the washers you have to heat them until they just turn a dull red then immediately quench them in cold water.
fuel leak
wow look at that when i calm done i can spell
had another look cleaned off the offending part yep looks like the bottom washer on the feul inlet "banjo" is leaking fuel under pressure thanks for that DD once i`ve got the order together for milner i may as well replace the pair of them at the same time
cheers again
