Fuel injection pump - Perkins 4.108

[Gregory OConnor]

Art, I wonder what caused the leak??? it could be that the lift pump
that brings diesel supply to the Perkins is pressure set too high. the
supply side of those little injector pumps are not built for major
psi. Did the PO (previous owner)change the pump? You can also look at
the return lines (that cool the injectors) to see that it is getting
back to the tank. Some configurations have this line pass the pump on
the return to the tank and a blocked or restricted return will build a
leak. you may want to look into it befor you run a resealed Injector
pump.
