Lift pump repair kit?

[Joe G.]

Does a repair kit exist for the lift pump on my '95? I was doing a little work on the Green Monster today and noticed that the rubber button on the pump was damp with diesel. Of course, it might be leaking from somewhere else so I'll check all the hoses etcetera tomorrow. The beast has 170K+ miles on it so the lift pump is certainly a suspect.

Pull the little rubber boot off and un screw the plastic nut that holds the button in. there are 2 o rings on this. they were leaking on mine. i went to the parts store and got a couple of o rings to replace them with. the little o ring on the inside the plastic piece. is kinda hard to find one just like it. I used a little fatter one. seems to be working fine.

Thanks Adam,



I'll try that. The hoses on mine are not too old so I don't think they are bad yet. I'll check them later today just in case and I will get some O-rings for the pump. If it's bad I really didn't want to replace the pump if it was an O-ring or cheap little seal. I've got plenty of fuel pressure so I know the pump is doing its job.
