Leaking KSB

[SChandler]

I'll dig this back up since I have an update. Went to the local Cummins part center for a couple of filters and asked about the "connecting pipe" for the pump. It wasn't listed in the parts guys book originally, but somebody had written in the Cummins part number for it. Cummins part no. 3920938, description: Pipe, Connecting, Unit price: $58.45. Don't know if this is a good price, but they have one on order for me. I went to the Bosch shop that they recommended, but the shop was closed (not open on weekends). I'll have to try to make it by there this week and ask them about it.

Called the Bosch shop this morning. They sold theirs a few days ago, so they are ordering one for me. $41 from the Bosch shop and supposed to be here in 5 days. Once I get it, I'll post the part number.

The Bosch shop sold theirs to the Cummins place!

Probably . According to the parts guy, Cummins NW was supposed to have received one on 5/29 (two days before I got there) but it didn't show up. Maybe the Bosch place got to it first?

The Bosch part #'s for my 92:
1-460-793-3920 KSB Pipe
1-460-225-082 O-ring (Need 3, 2 of the 3 can be seen here in CK's post, the 3rd ring goes just to the right of the threads: http://www.1stgen.org/viewtopic.php?t=2349&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45)
1-460-210-325 O-ring, the small o-ring that goes on the left end of the big piece in CK's picture.

I don't think I needed to replace the o-rings, but I figured since I had it apart I would go ahead and replace them. Easier to do it once. I needed a 9mm open end wrench and a 10mm crow foot wrench, 3" extension and ratchet to get the ksb pipe (connecting tube) off. It's nice to not be leaking $4.70/gal fuel any more whenever the engine is running.

Wow, only 4.70 there? It dropped to 4.99 here, was 5.09 most places.

Yeah, it was "only" $4.679 at the Flying J last night when I fueled up. It went down a week or two ago. Most every other place charges $4.80 or more a gallon though. Still about $0.60/gal more than regular unleaded . I got to work yesterday and thought "Somethings missing." Then I realized that the cab didn't smell like diesel fuel anymore . Guess I should have fixed that leak sooner.
