Fuel Pump leaking?

Featured Replies

During constant running, I'm getting a steady drip coming from the mechanical fuel pump. Its gas coming out of the two tiny breather holes on the bottom half. (I can plug one and watch it escape with more pressure on the other side).

Now before I go sourcing a new one out, I was wondering if any of you experts ran across this, is it something I can remedy by making new seals for the pump itself?

Pumps are not too expensive, shouldn't drip gas, and are easy to change. Consider buying a new one or taking the opportunity to upgrade to an electric pump.

NO!Replace it now before the BBQ.

Or an EXternal combustion engine!
