Unhappy Pump Leaking

To my surprise this AM, truck was hard to start. Always starts on the first turn over but today it took a couple of turns to start and ran real ruff for a second or two.

After a short trip I came back and found some fuel spots in the drip pan I have for the driveway. I looked all over for the leak, fuel filter and drain were not leaking but after searching around I found the leak on the back side of the pump. This sucks big time. The pump defentily has to come out to be sealed.

I'm moving tp Oregon sometime in the first quarter of 2006 and was going to have PDR due thier magic after I got situated up there. I guess I will look around for somebody to due the work here in the Phoenix AZ area. Any suggestion on who is good in the PHX area please post or PM.

In the mean time I have unhooked the KSB to lower the pressure on start up. Hope it last a week or so till I can find out where to get it fixed.

Jim

Jim, go see Randy at Reliable Diesel. He's in Mesa, real close to you. Order up the PDR pump, yours should still be a good core.
