Banjo bolt for B275 fuel pump

al49jr · Feb 13, 2009

I'm looking for a banjo bolt for the discharge side of the feed fuel pump on a diesel B275. The one that someone had used is too short and stripped the threads in the pump. I need one about 2 inches long. Found out it's Part number 708293R1 but nobody has one. If anyone has one they care to part with please email me.
Thanks

Hi Al49jr, I believe the banjo bolts are all the same. The usuall cause of one being stripped is one of the two washers are lost and someone tries to tighten the bolt so it does not leak. Will always leak without the proper brass washers.
In an emergency there is one banjo bolt and washer set that can be removed from the crankcase vent tube where it connects to the intake manifold. The brass washers on the intake manifold can be replaced with steel ones and a dab of gasket sealant as there is only vacuum on this line like a PVC on a gas engine.

Hope this helps

Thanks,looks like at some point the original bolt was lost, this one's different steel rather than brass like the intake, and with rubber washers - one only, and you are correct, over tightening on the 4 threads stripped them.
I found a 5/16" reverse taper copper fitting that appears to bottom out on the taper inside the pump,so if your suggestion doesn't work I'm going to try to change over.

Thanks Bob,
Nobody told the computer - the bolt was gone.
However they were very helpful and gave me several phone numbers to call - US and Canada.
I found one at Eckroth IH in Oreville Pa. along with the washers.
Thanks for the info. If anyone needs the other leads let me know.
