If you have some money and don't know where to spend it- get this beauty:

It will cost a bit more but if you plan on driving your TD longer or have to replace the radiator anyway:
Custom built radiator- tiny escape connection missing in the upper right.Was the reason to ship it back and get a new one.

date has to vary due to production process.
Colour difference is key- showing a heat treatment missing.

Default Hand primer pump.

I have been experiencing air in the fuel system for some time. Its a total PITA.
Makes it hard to start.
It looks like the primer pump is the problem. The seal on the shaft of the primer must be a bit leaky ~ it does leak a little when hand pumping.
To solve the problem I have fitted an O ring so that when the pump plunger is screwed back into its home place it seals properly.
All the grief solved with a small 20c O ring!!

I had the same problem but used a Loctite sealant on the thread (suggested by Deezelweasel). It has worked well but your option is cheaper. I'll do that next time I prime.

Question Hand Primer Pump Leaking

Hello Layback40 and MattP,

I am having similar problem with my XJ with diesel leaking past the plunger shaft.

Layback40 - Do you recall what size o-ring you used and did you have to remove the plunger from the filter head?

MattP - Can you remember what grade of locktite that you used?

Thanks in advance

I just used one I had. I think it was about the size of the ones you find on garden hose fittings or maybe a bit smaller. Didnt remove the plunger, just unscrewed ir & then stretched the O ring over the top handle bit & screwed the plunger back down on it. Had to make sure the O ring was sitting central under the head/handle bit on the plunger.
