Thank you Clive. These vehicles are sent to try us!!

What would be interesting, is how many people out there have faulty pumps and do not even know it!!.

Richard

Thank you Terry, there had to be a reason why its there. I have only been running the pump for no more than an hour or so, as I have just bought the pump as a reconditioned pump.

My old pump had been on for well over ten years with not any problems....

Hi Andy,Clive and John

Thank you all so much for your helpful advice and information, I cannot see any hole in the drawing, so it could be an old MOD plate weld hole, who knows.

I am going to send the pump back to EICS and I hope to get a replacement without to much fuss.

If anyone comes up with anymore information, I would be most grateful. Sheaun at Carwood, Coventry did say, the are often welding these pump casings, so it might be a common fault, only keep your eyes open guys, as the hole was hidden behind the MOD Sticker.

I've been trying to find a decent drawing, the only one I've seen is in the ISPL.  Judging from that the hole is on the motor side of the shaft seal so it looks like you've got a leaky seal.  What's really needed is the EMER for the pump.

Hi Richard, we use a low temp aluminium weld called Durafix when we have to fix housings on this pump see below

Id suggest the unit has that part of the housing removed and cleaned of any traces of fuel before you attempt any repair

Hi Andy,Thank you for looking further into this, Shaun say's this does seem to be a problem and suggests welding,I am going to try this as the pumps works fine, if you do find the EMER drawing that would be fantastic, maybe Clive has it ?.

Richard

Thank you John.

Hi John

I hope this might help, the hole was behind the MOD sticker..

Richard,

 

Can you be clearer where the leak / hole is?  Perhaps a Pic.Hi

Hi John

I will get a photo at the weekend, the hole is just in front of the bottom bolt that goes into the collector filter box; its in the black outer casing of the pump, if that helps.

Richard

I have just replaced my old FV432 fuel pump next to the collector filter with a reconditioned one, only to find it is leaking/weeping diesel very slightly where the pump is bolted on to the collector filter box; now most of us would think its just the cork gasket leaking.....!!well after three attempts ,I gave up with this idea and placed the pump and box up high so I could see where the slight leak was coming from and when lifting the pump, the 'MOD' date sticker came away from the base of the pump housing.

Then to my amazement I saw a small hole not much bigger than a needle size, the hole was hidden behind the sticker. My question, is this hole there for a reason?, it looks like it should be there, only my old pump never had this slight weeping. 

Is there anyone out there that has the EMER on this pump please, just to put my mind at rest. I believe they are still in use on some of the modern vehicles. The easy way to rectify the leak would be to just use a self tapping screw.

Any help would be much appreciated.
