 Topic: WD45 diesel- fuel in the oil
Posted: 23 Sep 2012 at 10:28am |

My brother has a WD45 diesel that he just noticed has fuel in the oil. He had 2 of the injectors worked on when he first got it. Would that have something to do with the other injectors? We farm about 66 acres and I was getting all pumped up about plowing wheat stubbles with it this year. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks

There is a bad seal in the injector pump that allows fuel to get to the oil.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Is that an easy fix?

usually a seal on the transfer pump shaft, and a groove worn in the shaft from an old hard seal. You can repair the PSB transfer pump fairly easily. Just finding parts if yours needs the shaft. We've had to send the shafts out to be built back up before. Not very expensive, but a little bit of a wait.

I had that happen several years ago and the fix was replace both seals on the shaft - one seal cost 90 cents and the other cost 92 cents. This was back in the late 70's. Both seals looked alike but each had a specific place, one for oil and the other for fuel. I remember taking a picture with a camera and you'll want to at least take a mental picture before you remove the shaft, in other words know exactly how it's going to be going back together. Good luck.

One other note - I remember talking to a fellow that said he replaced both seals on the shaft on an annual basis just so he wouldn't have any trouble.
