F-14 gas in oil

Tony S. · Mar 15, 2009

Apparently leaking through the fuel pump. Pump works fine. Don't know if it leaks when running or sitting. Tractor has been sitting most of the winter. Any suggestions?

Tony,
One of the reasons to shut off the fuel when leaving the tractor. Only thing to do now is drain the oil, refill and run it a while/check for gas.

Change the pump diaphram. It will pump fine, but the leak into the oil will only get worst until it finaly fails. I have had this happen many times on my fleet of f-12/f14's. Worst case I had was that I changed the oil, filter, and filled the tank to the top. I had 40psi oil pressue as I began plowing. About a half hour of good heard work I noticed that oil pressure was dropping fast. So I stopped, shut it down and let it cool off. I checked the petcocks, and found the oil really runny. So I drained it and got just short of two and a half gallons. I rebuilt the pump and never had it happen again on that tractor. The only good thing as the mixed burned really well in the Farmall Regular in the Kero mode.
