Injection Pump Housing Leakage Test

  1. Remove injection pump and drain all fuel. Connect an air supply line to fuel inlet fitting. Ensure air supply is clean and dry. Seal off return line fitting. Completely immerse pump assembly in a container of clean test oil.
  2. Apply 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm2 ) to pump. Leave pump immersed for 10 minutes to allow trapped air to escape. Watch for leaks after 10 minutes. If no leaks are observed after 10 minutes, reduce air pressure to 2 psi (.14 kg/cm2 ) for 30 seconds.
  3. If there are still no leaks, increase pressure to 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm2 ) again. If no leaks are observed, pump is ready for use. If leaks are noticed, pump must be replaced.
