Fuel leak at injector pump

[paul3112]

Hi.

I am looking for the top pump seal on a '93 3L Hiace diesel injector pump.

I have called the local dealer and spare parts have no listings for a seal kit or any other info other than a new pump is over $2k.

Any assistance in finding the seals would be great.

FYI

After speaking with a expert on the issue he gave me this tip.

http://www.aip.com.au/industry/diesel.htm

He said that he has had some sucsess in gaining compensation and BP was mentioned.

Now my take on things is that this programme was started to protect the enviroment.

What is the plan for all the leaking fuel??

you can purchase the top o ring and shaft seal from any toyota dealer as seperate parts. coventrys diesel section will sell the parts at a fraction of the price the toyota dealers do. from memory they are about $4.00 for the top cover o ring and $5.00 for the shaft seal. make sure you mark the shaft postion to the lever to make sure it goes back in exactly the same position. if you havent done the job before it might pay to take into a workshop who has, as it is a bit tricky. They should only charge you about an hours work to do the job on the vehicle. also check that the pump doesnt leak from the o rings on each side of the pump. if the one on the block side is leaking the pump will have to be removedr
