ENGINE TECH TIPS


Subject: HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FRONT SEAL FAILURE

1. RELEVANT MODELS:
2005 thru 2007 all models

2. COMPLAINT:
Fuel diluting engine oil

3. CAUSE/CONDITION:
High Pressure Fuel Pump front seal failure.

4. CORRECTION:
Remove a plug from the bearing
case. If fuel is present the front
pump seal has failed.

Before replacing the High


Pressure Fuel Pump inspect the
fuel return line from the
engine to the fuel tank. A restricted
return line will create excessive
fuel pressure in the Fuel Pump causing the front seal to fail. We have
seen fuel lines pinched by body mounting u-bolts. We have seen fuel lines
lengthened, shortened, added and plugged. Repair as needed before
installing a new Fuel Pump.
