vacuum control unit
When replacing fuel cutoff will oil drain out of injection pump also I put clear line on nipple and sucked in with mouth and line filled up with oil is this a total rupture of cutoff unit and if left like this for a little while will it contaminate the entire cars vac. lines or would it be isolated to that vacuum line. Thanks for any info.

You will not lose any oil when you replace the cut off valve. If you don't you will get oil into the complete vacuum system. No good. I had oil running out under the dash from the key switch. Ruined a good pair of pants. I also filled the heater vacuum lines with oil.

I remember a long time ago, one of the professional techs posted a sure fire diagnosis for oil in the vacuum system. Suck on the vacuum line. If it tastes like motor oil, it's from the vacuum pump. If it tastes like diesel fuel, it's from the shut off solenoid.

A leaking vacuum shut off leaks motor oil not diesel.
