Re: Pump seal

I seen that trouble a few years ago but nothing lately. On the ones you have found are there any consistencies with regard to how the fuel line is piped to the fuel unit?

Pump seals

If they have all been gravity jobs were the tanks much higher than the fuel units? I’m thinking this may have been a few cases where and OSV should be installed? That is if you haven’t already installed them.

 

I’m doing ok, thanks for asking. Boy those parties were a long time ago and I miss them. Kerry and Andrea always treated people right!
