Ardic 042D, fuel pump pressure relief valve is leaking

[Frankymax]

Hey, i managed to read this thread written in norwegian thanks to google translate! I am also aware that this is an old thread, but it is quite  difficult to find people with some expertise with ardic heaters. Mine is an 042D. My problem seems to be on the pressure relief valve which is attached to the fuel pump. There is a quite lot of fuel leaking from it when the pump is working. I managed to run the heater by pressing hard on the white plug on the realif valve. Once running the heater works fine but as said leaking a lot of fuel. Any one has had the same problem? Any idea or solution?

Apparently it's a known problem, we have some other threads on the subject:

From what I can see it's related to a rubber membrane that can be bought as a part of a service kit.

If it's just a flat piece of rubber may be able to make one from a car tire innertube.
