On my Power Major, the fuel pump is mounted on the engine block so it cannot leak into the injection pump like the Dexta. Dandy Dave! [Reply]  [No Email]

This is the most likely cause of a major diesel leak. Change this pump first and see if that cures the problem. [Reply]  [No Email]

These pumps are lubricated with diesel fuel so an occasional drip is common, but a steady stream means that the plungers are most likley worn and leaking fuel past. Dandy Dave! [Reply]  [No Email]
