Archived diesel spraying onto back of inj. pump

[cramseyc]

I have a 96 12v that I installed a 5yr old, new in box, FASS pump on. I installed according to instructions that came with the pump. Fuel comes forward and enters the old system into the strainerbowl? beside the old lift pump. I drove 5 hours from home and around the town some the next day. One of the sensors on the front side of the strainerbowl pushed out and fuel started to spray onto the back of the injection pump. Any ideas on where to get banjo line adaptors to bypass the old system entirely or other options?

The fuel heater and pre- filter screen is made in three sections. Take the bottom off which is the screen and then take the heater section off and then put the screen bowel back on. You won't have the fuel heater anymore but it won't leak. But seeing where you live in the winter you might want the heater.

Thanks for the info. I ended up fixing it before I read your post. I based my fix on the fact that my mechanic back home told me to bypass the old lift pump. I cut the line going to the fuel filter from the old lift pump. I then installed a 5/16 brake line nut and flare adapter to plumb in the standard pipe thread line from the new pump. I did all of this to get around the banjo connection on top of the filter housing. It isn't pretty but I used a double flare tool so it should work until vibration stress becomes an issue.
