Need your guys help with this new issue I got.
Parked it on the drive way and its at an incline left the rambler there and came home to a small puddle. Thought it was a coolant puddle but when I checked it it was leaking fuel. I also thought it was because it was on a downward slope (usually I park it in my garage where its flat/level) Went to try and drive it today and saw it was still leaking. Here's the pictures and I circled where I saw the fuel coming out from. This is the first time I've seen it do this. I closed it off with my fingers and once i let go i saw fuel gush out. https://flic.kr/p/HWi5rX https://flic.kr/p/KspeJf Edited by Jjtxaz - May/27/2018 at 5:21pm |

Probably a tear in the diaphragm.

There should be no fuel in that part of the fuel pump, so the diaphragm is ruptured.
That will let gas mix with the oil, don't run it like that.

Then and Now Automotive (google it) can rebuild that pump as good as new for about $100 plus postage. Joe

i'd do an oil change right after installing the new pump, to be safe,
unless you know the leak just started and doesn't have much driving on
it. oil's cheaper than engines.

Got back from school and was able to get around to getting the fuel pump rebuilt. Pretty easy and runs great.
Thanks for the help. |
