Hello Listmembers,

After an enjoyable night spent watching the Leonids meteor show with two of
my children, I returned home to find that my 1982 Diesel Westfalia was
pouring fuel out of the diesel injection pump.  I didn't get a good look at
exactly where on the pump it was leaking.  Does anyone know the common
failure modes on these pumps that would produce a stream of fuel, and what
kind of a repair project I am looking at?

thanks in advance,

-bret
