[Vwdiesel] Leaking injection pumps

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  I heard a bit of a blip a day or two ago about fuel prices taking a 
$.20/gallon jump.  No explanation, just an increase.  Of course all summer they were 
saying the price was due to the short supply of fuel.  Ummmm, I never heard of 
any stations being unable to resupply...
  What I'm seeing seems as much to be a fuel that's more capable of squeezing 
out through tight places than eating the seals.  The advance seal was pliable 
and looked fine when I replaced it.  I have as many metal to metal fittings 
leaking as I do seals and hoses.
  Central WA state here.
