Question about D2 Fuel Pump housing

Wow!

I think you're right.......that must be blocked somehow. I would block it where there is a seal on the drive shaft. If it's at the front case to fuel tower joint then block it there as you said. If there's a seal at the front of the injection pump housing that would make me want to know more.

I think I would want something more secure than just the gasket material.

Looks like an easy way to make a bad mistake.

That must be a 3J or 5J series.

You are once again correct- its a 3J series

Hi Team,
if you check the parts book you will see a lip type seal with its lip facing back towards the injection pump.

I stand to be corrected but,
it likely that this lip seal is a static seal as I think it seals on the OD of the front pump camshaft bearing.--oil scrolls on both the Injection Pump Camshaft and the pump end of the Accessory Drive shaft keep the oils in their respective housings.
This seal and the scrolls along with gaskets between the housings do the rest to keep the oils separated.
The Accessory Drive Shaft and the Transfer pump drive etc is lubed by engine oil.

Cheers,

Eddie, you are correct,

we found the small housing that holds the seal, (fell behind some things) and i did not notice it on the parts diagram until further review.

Thank you all for your input!

So in that arrangement what would be the route of fuel leakage from the infamous fuel gallery seal be?

i just left the shop, but i will check on that in the am.

Hi Om,
whilst looking back in Search for an answer to a no rear fuel gallery plug question I found your query on the leakage path for the rear fuel gallery plug was unanswered.

CCJ answers your query in post #8 of this linked Thread.
