Suggest the hose fitting nozzles are screwed into the pump body using a fuel
proof sealant.
Red Hermetite (available from Halfords) would do the job.

--> <jonsmitheuropa@tiscali.co.uk>
On my new Rotax 912S installation I have the standard electric backup pump
as supplied by the factory (Facet 40106). Right from the start it leaked
slightly, seems to be from the actual case. As it was outside the warranty
period I ordered a new one which I have fitted today. This one is also
leaking slightly - again appears to be from the actual casing. I've not
even flown with this new one yet! Just tested it on the ground. I'm 100%
confident about the hose connections - remade them several times with good
clips.
Am I being just unlucky here to have two duff ones or am I c*cking something
up? All I've done with them is remove the rubber blanking plugs from the
holes, fitted the hose fitting nozzles (correct size) and attached the
hoses.
Cheers, Jon
