Low sulphur fuel

[AKW]

Went to start my old tractor today only been about 6 weeks
started then stopped again.
low sulphur fuel and 40 + year old type seals don't mix.
Fuel had leaked out of the injector pump (dpa) type.
Can anybody help with a product to add to the fuel to stop
it leaking out.
The tractor is a later B275 international if anyone was wondering.
thanks

Andrew.

Why not replace the seals?:confused:

Could cost as much as the tractor is worth
as there is nothing else wrong with the pump.

We've had low sulphur fuel for quite a few years now, so I doubt you could blame that.

it has been leaking for a while just this time i've left it too
long between starts (stuffed battery).
But i want to stop the leak.

Again, I think seal replacement is the only way. No additive is likely to be able to repair knackered seals; sorry. :(

I have to replace the lift pump on my tractor because of this, and I always use Redline RL2 as an additive to help lubricity.
At least the CAV rotary pump is still fine (touch wood)
