OK, I was really happy, I'm 495 days into the "Tune UP" and repair of the D-Jet fuel injection unit. After completely rebuilding the engine, Injection components, Wiring harness for the D-Jet, align boring the Type IV case, The plastic bags were empty! Yay for empty parts containers! I made the decision after check the electrical out to add Gasoline........
The Bosch Pump leaks out of the seams as soon as it pressurized like a sieve, fuel all under the pump. That wonderful little gem of a NLA fuel pump. Any suggestions, O-ring and seal kits? I would like to stay with the Bosch pump but am I the lone ranger on this? Is the alternative to just run a single outlet pump (Which one?) and just run the return line direct to the pump? I was really hoping after 9 years to have my wife's 914 running by the weekend. I appreciate all the help and suggestions out there. John |

My original plan was to keep the three port pump as well after restoration.
When it started leaking at the seams I looked at buying a used three port pump. After giving it some thought, I decided to buy a new Bosch 2 port pump. I didn't want to chance a very preventable break down by using a 40 yr old fuel pump. It's your call, but I would buy a new one - especially on your wife's car. |
