Hallo @ all
We own a 1993 Laika motorhome Twin Wheel Axle Transit with 73Kw and i,m using the third lucas Fuel injection pump.
After the last pump chance i twisted the press fuel line on the Fuel injection pump as loosen the line.
After 1 turn i could loosen the line and after refitting it on the new pump it turned back and looked ok.
I didn't had problems for the next 20k miles.
A couple of weeks ago i had starting problems after a short break i wanted to start the engine but it wouldn't start, i tried it again and it started but
the engine light stayed on, i drove a few miles an as expected not faster as 40 mph, restarted again and everything was ok.
On the camp ground in Luxembourg i changed the Fuel injection pump. first ok but after 2 days same problem so the pump was not the problem.
There was a strong fuel smell so something was leaking, I think the twisted press fuel line on the pump is the problem.
Back home i asked the local Ford dealer if the could order the fuel line. He couldn't find the part and now i have a problem.
I have to make me a new fuel line, the plastic 8mm hose, the rubber rings and the bushing at he end wasn't a problem but the rubber ring holder is.
Does anyone knows if i can reuse this rubber ring holder or where i can order a new (or used) press fuel line from the fuel filter to the pump?
Any help, advice or suggestions gratefully received from anyone.
Thanks
