Leaking Fuel Pump

[Seamus1982]

Afternoon Guys and Girls,

I wonder if anyone may be able to help. I am getting our 69 bay ready for the summer and just went to take her out of storage. I checked her over and hooked up the battery etc and turned her over, giving a couple of pumps on the gas. I then went and checked the engine again to make sure all the leads were in properly etc. and noticed a drip from the hose coming from the fuel pump outlet. I thought maybe being old the hose had deteriorated and was leaking. I pulled it out and realised that the fuel outlet from the pump was still pumping out a bit of fuel.

Is this normal, if not any ideas whet I can do?

Any help as always is massively appreciated.

Sean

sorry, should have mentioned, its the early type pump which can be dismantled.

You will get a syphoning effect as the pump sits lower than the tank.
