    My fuel pump started leaking and I need advise on what to do. I would like one with a sediment bulb. IMG_1003.jpeg

    Is it leaking gas? Dangerous fire hazard. Must be replaced/rebuilt. If you want the glass bowl type, be sure to get one for a pre ‘48 car.

    Is it leaking oil from the mount? If so, may just need a new gasket.
    Hope this helps.

    You can rebuild it yourself quite easily. Your diaphram may have a rip or one of the gaskets need to be replaced. Not a big deal after all
