Diesel leaking near my Fuel feed pump and/or injection pump

[David*BJ70]

I see some diesel near my injection pipe, then on my injection pump and finaly on my fuel feed pump (it's all related)

That definetly make me scare !!

So... can I figure my injection pipe are leaking (hope it's that )

can that diesel came from my injection pump (Nooooooo !)

or can that diesel came from my fuel feed pump. (No !)

Is a picture can help you to hepl me to solution my problem ?

And if is the fuel feed pump, someone know a place who sell the part cheeper than Toyota dealer (560 $can).

And if is my injection pump... oh I don't heaven want to know the price for a new one.

Finaly if one of that part are leaking, can my cruiser run good anyway... because now it run very good.

Can a good diesel shop can rebuilt all those part ? (new seal, ...)

(3B engine)


Help !

A picture would be most helpful. The fuel feed pumps often leak, the injectors shouldn't leak unless the lines are loose.
A decent diesel specialty shop should be able to help you for MUCH less than Toyota. I had a 3B injection pump (including the fuel feed pump) redone by a diesel shop last year for well under $1000.

OK now is the picture.

The fuel feed pump look rusty (this is one of the few thing rusty on my new cruiser ) (red arrow)

but if is my fuel feed pump, can I see some diesel ON my injection pump ?

also, the 2 front injections pipe screw look also rusty. (green arrow) I think the leak come from those pipe... but I'm not sure...

Is a diesel leak can make rust some part ?


AND

Is a injection pump problem look like diesel leaking on... or it's seem more to be a pipe and/or fuel feed pump problem ?

How much diesel is getting out? Do you have a puddle under your truck in the morning or can you actually see diesel running out of the pipe?
The reason I ask is if it's just seeping from the fuel pipe connection, try tightening it or adding a little diesel friendly pipe sealant to the threads. Otherwise don;t worry about it.
Diesel fuel doesn;t cause rust, that's why I and everyone else uses it to clean motorcycle chains. You have enough rust on your steering link to tell me that the fuel pipe connection is no worse than anywhere else.

*Not very much... just enough to see it on the injetion pump

Do you have a puddle under your truck in the morning or can you actually see diesel running out of the pipe?

*I don't see a puddle under my truck actualy because it snow and rain since 7 days and I have the truck since that time... but I don't thjink so. And I don't see diesel running out. But that smell...

*Is a white teflon for plumbing work ? I suppose I can buy a pipe sealant on diesel shop or Canadian Tire ?

*OK, OK, I will try to stay calme Maybe some news latter....


Somebody have other idea.
