| Was doing a little grade work with a drag blade behind the 180D yesterday, could smell fuel then saw the dripping from the front seal area, pulled the dipstick and she was overfull by a lot. I just replaced the injection pump a month ago, been fine til now, guess I did roll the seal and it finally gave up. Oh well, time to change the oil anyway! |

Well, you will have to fix the seal, but more than likely you didn't ruin the engine in any way. Diesel fuel still has a lubrication factor to it. We always used to run about a quart of diesel fuel or more as needed in our Perkins power units the night before an oil change. For some reason a couple would carbon up real bad, and the oil would be too think to drain out, even on really short oil change intervals. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

You apparently rolled the fuel side seal upon installation of injection pump. Bummer. Happens quite often. The important one is the tough one to get in too! Good luck, Ed.

I even had the little round pinchers to compress the seal and used STP on it, guess I will have to double check harder this turn, I did not use a mirror to verify last time. I do have a packing hook(dull tip) this time so if it does try to roll I can nudge it around to flat. Seems the hard lessons stick harder/longer.

There is a chance you didn't mess up, if the pilot tube spun out.

| Man, I hope it has not and it is just a seal. |

| Got to it today, I am getting faster at removing this pump, was the seal and I cut it when I installed it. Now just waiting on replacement to show in the mail. |
