fit a blanking plate in place of the lift pump.
fit a facet pump and power it up off of the injector pump solenoid.
just trust me on this one its worth it in the long run.
So this morning my '93 200tdi 110 suffered severe power loss when heading out to work. Couldn't make it up a hill and stalled a few times. Managed to park it up for the day. Having finished work and getting back to it the 110 started up no problem. Inspection reveals that under acceleration diesel is spraying at a great rate out of the small hole to rear underside fuel lift pump.
Had the fuel injection pump rebuilt a couple of weeks ago so thought the leak may move to the next location however, may this be a simple case of replacing the lift pump?
Records show the lift pump was replaced approx 24 months ago. Thought they'd last longer than that?
Any feedback / thoughts would be greatly appreciated. At present I think I'll start with a new lift pump and go form there.

Yes, I think I'll take your advice next time mine carks it. How would one the the Series 6 cylinder electrical pump go for this job, if I could find another good one?
The one on Leo, the '77 ex-Army SIII, is presumably nearly 40 years old and still works well. Came in very handy when the Holden motor's diaphragm pump died out bush some years ago.
If fitting an electric pump, I'd suggest using the solenoid line to drive a relay to power the pump, as I do now for my electric vacuum pump. Will avoid the chance of overloading the solenoid wire.

I'd start with a lift pump and get a quality one not a cheap one off ebay. You're right about 24 months being short, I reckon you might have picked up a dud.![]()

Thanks for the replies Biknigt.aus & Defender boy. I'll keep the suggestion in line for the future as it would be beyond my DIY capabilities at present to start from straight replacement of the lift pump.
nope.
just whip the lines of the existing pump.
put a piece of hose from inlet to outlet
cut the ends off of the lines to and from the pump.
push fit and hose clamp some 5/16th fuel hose onto the pipes
screw the facet pump to the guard
run the hoses to the right sides of the pump and clamp them.
crimp an extension wire to the pump with a male/female spade piggy backconnector.
remove the wire from the pump solenoid
fit the piggy back
fit the solenoid wire.
Done.
Takes me 10 minutes (and usually nets me $200 on the side of the road for parts labour and "callout")

And good value too, in that situation. However, I'd suggest mere mortals might take a little longer.
I'd probably take half a day to track down the fuel hose, hose clamps, self-tappers - and the rest of the day trying to settle on the best spot to mount everything...
