        Been awhile but back and really need some advice. Fuel is leaking from hard line fitting cylinder #1 on my tractor. Initially I thought it was the hard line male fitting but after closer inspection it is on the female side and seems to come from where the fitting is pressed(?) into the flange that is mounted on 2 studs on the pump. I have posted a picture. Red line points to the leak area, the flange partially obscures this area on cylinder 1 but you can clearly see the same location on cyl 2 and 3. Is this part replaceable or repairable. Affordable Tractor did not have this as a part.
        Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

          Did you find a part number for it or is it not serviced separately?

          If you have a part number, web searches should turn up something.

          If it is not serviced separately you may have to buy a whole pump to get it.

          However, you could:

          Take it apart to see if it something that can be repaired.

          Check with a local diesel shop that does pump rebuilds. They sometimes have access to repair parts that are not available to the general public. They also may have that part from a scraped pump or be able to find one that will work.

          Look for a used pump such on on eBay. You may be able to find one for sale as a parts pump.

            I am for carefully taking it apart , I believe that there is a copper crush washer at the base of that connector,so it needs to be sized and replaced with another one. I could of course be wrong. Remember that is the high pressure side of the pump so it has to be right so it wont leak.

                have you looked at the engine  to see what  you have ,there should be a engine tag maybe on the valve cover and something cast on the block. it would not hurt to know manf. and engine size like examlpe dong feng y380t I am kinda sure you have a jimna,but you never know .

                      So after trying everything I could pump still leaked. Got a new pump from Circle G and am going to attempt to install. Hoping for advice/suggestions before I start as this is new territory for me.
                      Thanks

                        I have no knowledge of that engine, but it has to be timed so the engine and pump are on the same page so to speak, I do know that. It is just how to do it without pulling the front cover of the engine off to see the timing marks on the crank, cam, and pump. Some engines use a pin that is installed to keep everything in one place during the pump change out. keep us posted as to what you find out.

                          So wimped out and paid someone to change out the pump. All good for now. Wish I could have been there to watch. Did not seem to be to hard. Now on to 4 wheel drive.
