I have an '82 Diesel Rabbit pickup. If I park on a hill, where the nose is higher than the back, the pump loses prime overnight - it drains back into the tank. The only thing I can figure is there is a leak somewhere that lets in air to siphon the fuel backwards. I changed all the hoses and the copper gaskets on the banjo fittings and there is no visible fuel leaking when running. What else could it be?

| Fuel filter? Did you change the small return line between the injectors too? |

Yes, I changed the small lines too. The filter is almost new. Upon further investigation, I think I found the leak. It's the banjo fitting on top of the injection pump. I replaced the copper seals top and bottom and it still leaks. Do the fittings go bad, and more importantly, can you get a new fitting from Bosch. Or, can I us a different type of seal or apply a sealant to it?
