    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    Metal O-Ring appeared on alignment tool

    why is there oil in my bellows but pressure test holds 15psi overnight

    Try putting 5 to 7 psi in and rotate the drive shaft. Also try to move it up/down/side to side to see if you loose pressure. With a lip seal, the more pressure is applied the tighter the seal is forced against the shaft If all that works without leaks, try a vacuum at 3-5 inHg

    Your motor does not have a mechanical fuel pump You have a break in a connection, don't know if that is inside the ALT or a wire. What your doing is back feeding the circuit The relay wasn't working until it was back feed Remember you have 2 diodes feeding the fuel pump relay, find them and...
