TeeELL Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have a Hardi 14412 type demand fuel pump feeding my Morso. The pump has developed a leak from one or both of the bingo unions. Is there a fix for this otherwise functioning unit, or is it a £70 replacement job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 OK, thanks. Sorry to be a pain, very limited access to Internet, small smart phone and fat fingers. What sort of shop do I need to find for these parts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thank you but What about a non Ebay option ie I get in my car and go find a stockist and buy. So I get the job finished today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 A good engineering supplier but take a banjo bolt to ensure you get the right size. Could be imperial or metric. I got a couple from Union Canal Cruisers in Braunston. Unless they have an extensive engineering department attached a normal chandler is not so ;likely to have them. Make sure there are no burs on the banjo bolt and pump faces. New copper washers might work if the old ones have work hardened but again make sure they are the correct size.

TeeELL Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well, I have tried motor factors, hydraulic suppliers, general engineering places in Droitwich and Worcester all to no avail (3 1/2 hrs wasted!). Looked on line at the Hardi site, eBay etc again to no avail. Currently the 2 washers are sitting in boiling water to see if that might restore some depth and sealing properties. It is quite frustrating that 2 x 20p washers seem so difficult to find, had several offers to sell me a new £70 pump!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 C'mon then - details of washers please Inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, material(?) Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeELL Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Richard, I had every intention of mic'ing them up, but enthusiasm got the better of me. I replaced them upside down having boiled them. Early indications suggest that it has worked! No diesel weeping through, so that'll do for me until next time.

RLWP Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Excellent! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeELL Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I think I need to update this! The 'boiled' washers didn't work but the free replacements I received from the manufacturer (in Germany) worked a treat! They also appear to be of a different material.
