G'mornin',

This may sound stupid, But......did you screw the plunger part of your priming pump back down when y'all were finished??

As I age, I am getting slower, but as I was working on my car yesterday....I remembered this thread, ...it dawned on me that you may not realize that the plunger cap is threaded and should be screwed back to it's closed position.

I have the one on my Benz, and 2 on my tractor (one for IP priming, and one as a cold start aid) and all 3 leak if not screwed back down.....as did most of the ones that I ran into on various ships....
