Hello everyone,
I am replacing the OEM leather seal that surrounds the drive shaft for the fuel pump(s) cam. With the new seal being a modern lip type seal, am I orienting it to keep the oil out of the fuel tower, or keep the diesel out of the pump assembly? I am guessing the latter of the two. Sounds like a peanut butter cup commercial…..lol
Thanks much,
Breadler
i would think diesel out of the oil.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
Can you fit two thin seals in to seal each way.
Only room for 1 replacement. The original was a wide leather seal, so there was no indication of direction. The replacement has the same width, but is of model lip style.
The seal keeps the diesel fuel out of the pump / oil. The diesel fuel is under pressure from the transfer pump. Your guess is correct.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
