[Vwdiesel] Bite the bullet...Split the spaceship...

[Nate Wall]

When I pulled the diaphram on mine, I noticed a bit of
really old smelling diesel in there that was silver
colored from metal from years of the pintle riding up
and down in its bore. I removed the old fuel nad put a
few drops of fresh diesel in there. I've heard that
the seal can get so bad that fuel drips out of the
little rubber boot at the base of the aneroid. How's
this seal replaced?
