1977 to 1985 Diesel Fuel Lift Pump Repair Kit w/ Video Instructions

This easy-to-install kit could do wonders for your older diesel engine. The lift pump is almost always forgotten when it comes to maintenance on the OM616 and OM617 engines. If you are struggling with undiagnosed starting and power-related issues ( after adjusting the valves, checking compression, checking fuel injectors, and changing fuel filters ), repairing the pump that delivers fuel from the tank to the injection pump could possibly solve your problem. This is not a complete "overhaul kit." It will not fix internal pump wear or leaks. This is an internal check valve and copper washer replacement kit. If the check valves are not sealing, the pump pressure can be reduced, and you may experience difficult cold starts due to fuel "leak-back." Watch the video below as Kent explains more and shows what is involved in the job.
