Oil Seal Overview
Make sure the fuel-pipe connections are clean. Unplug them and reconnect to the pump.
3. The spring on the lip of the oil seal tends to provide support to the lip and prevents the lubricant from leaking outside and also prevents the entry of contaminants from outside.
There are many different materials used to manufacture oil seals.
Also known as a Rotary Shaft Seal, Shaft Seal, Lip Seal, Elastomeric Lip Seal or any variation of these. It is a simple device for excluding dust, dirt, water or any other contaminant whilst retaining lubricant in rotary shaft equipment. Generally, it has been developed as a means of protecting the bearings of rotating shafts.

Many oil seals are capable of resisting contact with grease, fuel, water, and other elements. Knowing what type of fluid the seal will interact with will help you choose the right oil seal that can withstand those types of fluids.
Oil seals, also referred to as shaft seals, are widely used to prevent the leakage of medium (such as oils and grease) along a rotating shaft. This leak prevention is primarily achieved by the sealing element which can be made from a wide range of materials that are chosen according to each application. They are commonly used in gearboxes, hydraulic cylinders, and related components.
