Hi all - don´t know if this thread is still active, but I have just had my first experience of draining the oil from the injection pump sump and I intend it to be my last. What a foul experience - oil everywhere, including the bilge.
I am thinking that for future oil changes I will just add to the very top of the pump, run the engine for few seconds, then drain it from the oil level hole. Perhaps do this twice. My theory is that this will "dilute" the dirty oil with new oil.
Comments?
Alternatively: I am not keen to retap the drain plug hole in place (as SyJos did), but one other idea came to mind. Perhaps I could use the banjo fitting that was on the overflow line to install a permanent drain tube to the drain port (instead of the dilution idea).
