SD diesels were widely available in the US in the 1981-86 Datsun/Nissan 720 pickups, and in Canada through '87 in the D21 pickup.

Does anybody know if there is an aftermarket injection pump rebuild kit available?

I'm not even aware of a non-aftermarket rebuild kit. Parts, yes. Seal kit, yes. Rebuild kit, no.

The inline IP is a very robust design. The pneumatic governor diaphragm and the primer pump seem to be the weak spots.

I wonder if the internal seals will begin leaking with USLD and BD, and contaminate the lube oil.

My local mechanic does. Figure $900 for a rebuild of YOUR entire injection. Don't just start guessing.

Ask about your problem. There are LOTS of injection experiment and/or about the fuel pump (combined) here on the "Topics" here! :wink:

I would have to second what Philip says....dont go there!! You will be guessing when setting it up.

Cheaper option...buy a good second hand pump??? One you have seen powering the motor..
turbo it

(sd33t home turbo set up if anyone is interested..)

Thanks for the advice. Al do you happen to have the number for the seal kit? I'm currently not having any issues with either of mine but, just wanted to be prepared for when something does happen. One of my pumps has over 600,000 km's on it and the other is almost at 300,000 km's. But, I would be interested in the seal kit number in case this ULSD starts cause issues of leakage.

Thanks again,

I'm afraid I don't. I've never had to research the internals of the inline IP. Maybe one of the other SD folks has it.

Edgar replaced my Lift Pump complete for $100. He paid $900 for the entire Injection Pump (included lift pump). Sofar ... I've not needed THAT job!

Now I've only needed the lift pump ($30+70) and pneumatic diaphragm ($30). On eBay I have seen the entire injection pump parts on the Bosch inline. BUT ... just putting in injection parts is not done. Afterward, the whole thing needs be fitted to a diesel machine to adjust everything right. This is NOT like some old carburetor!
