Fred for all the years I serviced Gardner engines we never bothered to check that; if you look on that picture between the two banks of three pumping elements you can see the aluminium cover that covered the fuel rack where it goes through each of the banks of the pump, this cover was missing from the only 8LXB powered truck that was run by H Fellows transport, as I said in a previous post this truck broke down it would not start. I simply tipped the cab over moved the rack which was stuck and applied plenty of freeing oil; job done even if it was a bodge.
