My point is that if you use fuel that eats seals, these older pumps DO mix
fuel with the lube oil in the IP, so expect your seals to get eaten.

All Bosch injection pumps in Mercedes diesels are lubricated with engine
oil - NOT fuel. The early ones (OM615/616 thru 1976) were NOT connected
to the engine lubrication system, the later ones were connected, but
engine oil was the lubricant in all of them.
One of the maintenance points (job 800 '72-'80 Maintenance Manual) on
the early ones was to unscrew the check plug and fill the pump with
engine oil so it would displace any fuel/fuel-oil mix that had migrated
into the oil reservoir.
