[Vwdiesel] Banjo hits sour notes

[Val Christian]

How about pulling the line, evacuating fuel, and buttering 
some braze material on it?

It may work for a trip.  A small patch of sheet metal could be placed over
the pinhole.  Chances are the bronze would hold, and be flexible 
so that it wouldn't fracture easily.

The good thing about braze is that you can do it in rather primitive 
situations.  A hot propane/mapp torch will do it, but I would use
a fine (jewelers size - like 1 cu ft sized) oxy-acetylene tip
myself, as that gives very good control.

Best of luck!

Seems the 2nd from flywheel end metal line from the injection pump (85 Jetta TD engine) has sprung a pinhole leak where it turns to go into the injector. I saw a emergency replacement flexible line in Parts Place catalog; I laughed when I saw that item at the time!  But not laughing now. I didn't expect a metal line to develop a pinhole leak. There wasn't any metal to metal tube rubbing. Biut the injector lines are missing the rubber separators, so maybe some vibration created a stress point. Anyone experience this kind of problem? Unfortunately 4th of July is not good day to find parts. Do you think I could remove and cut the line and splice in a piece of hose with hose clamps?  Its high pressure in those lines. Anyone do this? Also, anyone know of some parts place around Seattle that might have the Banjo? Milton.
