Re: D-jet fuel pump testing 120-130 66

If your pump sat with old gas in it for a long time it could

be gummed up. Gums are natural decomposition products of

gasoline. If you take the pump end apart, check to see if

you can turn the shaft. If stiff, a little bit of your favorite

penetrating snake oil and a lot of working back and forth may

free it up, then you can reassemble with cleaned parts and

new O-rings and it will probably be OK. Even with quite a bit

of wear to the little rollers it will still put up adequate

fuel pressure. Will naturally be more noisy.
