Yes, I agree. That will be my plan of action. Replace, glow plugs, replace primer pump, drive her hard, re-assess situation.

When you've fixed what you know needs fixing, and completed all the simple and easy repairs, start working up to complex. Primer pump is toward the simple end, delivery valve seals toward the complex end. Fuel tank strainer is toward the complex/hard end. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Dimitri Seretakis <dsereta...@yahoo.com> wrote: So I hear conflicting opinions about delivery valve seals. Some say not to change them if there is no apparent leak at the IP below the fitting. In my case there is no leak.

The primer pump did issue with getting fuel to the IP in Gump. The leakage was really obvious though, so there was no real mystery about there being a leak. clay On Sep 11, 2012, at 12:14 PM, OK Don wrote: In my experience, air leaks cause hard starting, but no effects at all once running.

Could this be creating an air leak that would result in stumbling and stalling? The hand pump could indeed be creating an air leak.
