Not what you expect to see on a 5 year old truck.
I put it down to pumping sea water and not cleaning correctly after use.

One of the jobs this week was to repair a leaking tank to pump outlet on the LFB Atego.
Now awaiting testing, probably Friday before I can get back on this job.

We recently had a Ex LFB Atego in from a customer who is donating it to the Ukraine effort.
It required quite a bit of work to make it fit for purpose. This included.
New Primer Seal kit to be installed
3x New Pump Gauges
Large water leak around the Tank to Pump valve
DPF warning light on.

These are not the best trucks to work on but needs must I guess.

Coming towards the last few bit now and should be back with its owner next week.
