HI GUYS

only just mot'd van for another year and have descovered a drip at the back of the fuel pump
beleive to be lUCAS EPIC

8720B050A
Orange Spot
(van drives fine no problems)
at first I thought this would be cheap to get sorted out but after a bit of reading looks like its gonna cost
the questions are ??
how much time do I have to get the cash together before this gets worse ?
I will be trying to source this up front through ebay and eleswhere as I can not have the van off the road for long
to replace with another unit which of the above numbers need to match ?
i wont be fitting myself will get someone that knows what they are doing
any help in answering the 2 questions above will be gratefully appreciated
thanks in advance Kenny

It may just need an o ring or gasket, where is it leaking from

Hi
Thanks for replying
Its leaking from the rear, a drip from the middle in between the four fuel lines (the distribution head)

cheers Kenny

Must be leaking from the rotor position sensor

I take it that's the one with a square "O ring"

hi Guys
p18 n09 rotor position sensor driping from the bottom
I see there are about three orings in there are these easy to get a hold of and change (or is this pump replacement)
is this leak likely to get worse soon or will it only be a drip that I can live with for the moment
the van runs fine

cheers Kenny
