>To all, I may have an idea what is causing the leakeage you are
experiencing. As you will soon be aware the sulfur level of on-road
diesel is being lowered in most areas to 15ppm unless marked on the
pump "low sulfur 500ppm". By October 31, 2007 most pumps will be at
15ppm, due to the difficulty of pipelines to deliver both 500ppm and
15ppm product. The process of removing the sulfur is causing leakage
in some older fuel pumps. From what we are hearing the cost is not
excessive, about $200, but it is a nuisance. Thus far we have not
heard of any problems relating to injectors, just the seals on the
injector pump metering rod.
