    Banjo unions on Fuel pump

    Frustrating and expensive afternoon!
    what started as poor fuel supply has finished in my needing a new pump. Air was leaking in thru the input side banjo so I replaced with new plastic seals from a very small but excellent reputable supplier . They only supply these seals now preferring them to fibre.
    so fitted, one either side, nipped up and - thread stripped in pump body. Measuring the amount of thread engagement with the standard banjo + bolt + 2 seals revealed only one and half threads of engagement.
    banjo bolt measures 0.865” anyone got one they can measure quickly to see if this is correct or know of a longer banjo bolt that would fit that I could use as the pump body probably has 6-8 good threads beyond the stripped one.

        Metal body Dave, stripped because banjo bolt only just engages in body thread

          doesn't sound ideal, has the supplier offered any feedback on the issue.

            Alan. That banjo bolt sounds far too short to me. I reckon there should be around 1/2" of thread showing after fitting it to the union. I'm afraid I haven't got one lying around to measure.

              it probably would do with fibre washers.

              i am unsure of the thread size but banjo bolts seem to be 20-22mm in european sizes

                0.865" in proper money, if not maybe a midge longer
