Yanmar 2gm part problem; the dealer that I get parts from in Key West has told me that Yanmar has stopped manu. the high-pressure injection pump rebuild parts!!! He could obtain a new injection pump for 600.00 though!!! After rebuilding & cleaning the pump myself and using the old parts ,I was wondering how to extend its life between overhauls? I remember reading in Ocean Navigator about diesel fuel in south & central America, the fuel there don't lube enough. The solution was to add 2 cycle engine oil to the diesel fuel. Not much either, just a couple of oz. in 25 gal. If this helps I will report back . Ed Gully |
