[Vwdiesel] Bio-compatible hose, and pump sealing kit.

[Tony and Lillie]

Thanks everyone for the info. Yes, it attaches to a device on the passenger 
side fender well. It doesn't have a nipple on top, where I usually see them 
on a Turbo. That sort of had me wondering, now I know why.

I ordered the kit from "Sam-the-diesel-man" on Ebay. I did some searching 
through my Jetta file (I keep everything) and I ordered the viton fuel hose 
from Mcmaster Carr. I needed to order some Audi shift linkage stuff from 
there anyhow, so I'll be putting an order together from them tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the help,
Tony

Viton hoses are readily available on ebay and through a number of online 
suppliers.  Same for the gasket sets for the injection pump.  The "pumpkin" 
on the top of your pump was an atmospheric pressure compensator  It should 
be attached by some hoses to another device on the passenger side fender 
well.  Basically it worked the opposite of a turbo pump.  During high 
altitude driving or under conditions of deceleration, it would lessen the 
amount of fuel being injected.  Basically it was an early pollution control 
device.  Hayden
