perishing rubber on diesel pumps

#1 PostAuthor: mick znone » Tue Jul 08, 2014 7:29 am

thought i would ask here because of the abundant wisdom. my diesel car is on its 4th rubber diesel pump, its the hand primer and they keep perishing. this cant be normal surely. is there a better type of priming pump? thanks in hope of help.

My old Foutrak needs a replacement primer/pump.... where the filter was fitted..... but I got a secondhand one in the end for £25 :!:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

been having same probs with rubber pipes at work,fuel delivery/return & leak offs.
started using viton about 3yrs ago,so far so good.
could be wrong but think the marine industry were using viton before auto,so good chance of finding something down ere;)
