Title: What's the thread on the leak off valve?
Post by: sb118 on April 20, 2006, 08:40:14 PM

Only just noticed my injector unit hasn't got a leak off valve so the
excess diesel is going to piddle out inside the head casing. :(

Hopefully be easy enough to get some sort of valve down here, just
need to know the thread.

cheers

Depends on which injector and which engine. Later stuff had 6 X 1mm female thread for a banjo connection, earlier injectors had 8 X 0.75mm or 8 x 1mm hole, fitted with an adaptor which gave a male cone end for the leak-off. I believe that the adaptors may be available from our local injector guy who has lots of older stuff upstairs :-))
