Leaking fuel pump

[reetp]

My poor old bus has a leaking fuel pump :-(

First question is how to figure which one I have (2.7 TD SE 1995)

Then what is best course of action?

Being in Spain repairs & parts are painfully expensive so I might be better of getting a 2/h ine in the UK.

Any assistance appreciated

Several methods, big round plug on the top left front of the engine is Bosch smaller square ones Zexel, Hitachi MAF= Zexel Bosch MAF = Bosch, but check the leak off hoses first, Rick

Aww thanks.

Think it has the big round bit and seem to remember it was Bosch (about 6 years ago the local garage had a delivery of something that wasn't diesel...... possibly some sort of bio fuel or something and seemed that Bosch pumps were ok.. mine seemed ok after a clean out, but a number of cars had trashed pumps... big bill for Repsol!!)

Not easy to see where it is leaking - we had a good root around earlier - but looks like the body. Will need tp rwmove a load of bits to see properly.

Has leaked on the engine mount and turned that to goo as well.

Any suggestions on spares/repairs? May be cheaper to send it to UK than do it here, or get another in the UK.
