Vegetable Oil Caused A Fuel Leak.

[Razorhoof]

Yup, that's right guys. I started off at around 50 / 50 and then gradually went up to 100% veg oil and not long after my old DENSO split the top ring.

It is in today to get fixed (£70 I am being charged by a Diesel 'Specialist').

The guy buys and sells 4x4's and was working on a surf the other day (he was selling a nice Land Cruiser this morning) so I reckon she is the right place.

Any thoughts?

It does. Some of your o-rings are on their last legs by now, and any veg that gets on them kinda makes them go hard. (and shouldn't be a surprise mate, its been mentioned enough on here.)

Get them to show you the old one, and have a look at the new one, big difference.

Nice one, so once theyshow me the old ones I might be ok to go Veggie again?

The old one is 14 years old, you'll be OK for probably as long as the truck lasts.

The injector pump seals do age ......getting mine done by tony as to do all of them it's a cambelt out job . but as i have already replaced the top seal and another has blown i think that it would be better to get the lot done .............................. ....
