I have a 92 Dodge pickup with the Cummins I use for a shop truck. I think I'm seeing the start of some problems because of the low sulphur fuel. Back when it was cool this spring it started being hard to start, even when left plugged in. I could give it a couple of pumps on the primer pump & it would start. It ran at first like it had low fuel supply. Then smoothed out & ran like normal. I started seeing some fuel dripping from below the pump when I pumped the primer. That was all back in the early spring. Then the weather warmed up a little and it started starting like it did for 158,000 miles. No prime, no fuel leak, no problems. I took a couple hundred mile road trip this weekend & on Monday the hard start problem came back. I'm now smelling fuel when I stop at the shop or stop any place I'm going. Could the pump be loosing some seals because of the low sulphur fuel?Any one have any ideas? Do I need to pull the pump & install some a seal kit? I can't see it having any other pump problems than seal leaks. Runs good & gets great mileage. What's a guy to do?
