Lift pump leak fixed
I removed the lift pump yesterday. The o-ring seal was damaged. Apparently the pump wasn't aligned properly and allowed the seal to get pinched. The pump centers itself via the outlet tube and o-ring.<br><br>MikeyB
It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Re:Lift pump leak fixed
Thanks for letting us know what you found. Too few users of this site let us know the solution to their problem(s).<br>Presume all you did was install a new O-ring and reinstall the pump?

Re:Lift pump leak fixed
That is correct. Just a new o-ring. About a ten minute job. One thing I didn't understand is the manual didn't mention lubing the o-ring. I went ahead and lube the o-ring with silicon grease. The kit contains just about every seal needed for the fuel system. Also included 4 new bolts with thread locker for the lift pump.<br><br>MikeyB
