322 Dual action fuel pump leak

[B.R.O.C.K.]

I have a '56 Roadmaster with a 322 ci Nailhead. It has the dual action (vacuum/fuel) fuel pump. It is squirting fuel out of a "weep-hole" in the body of the pump. I have a rebuild kit for it, but was hoping to find out exactly what the problem was before I took drastic measures. If anyone knows anything about these and can think of what might have happened... I'd appreciate any info...

Probably a tired and leaky diaphragm. They often fail when this happens, so its surprising yours still runs.:thumbsup:

So, it looks like the rebuild kit will come in handy today... thanks for responding so quickly

If it is squirting fuel out of a "weep-hole" in the body of the pump, it might also be getting fuel into the oil. Check that and don't run it any more with that slobbering pump.
