Should be enough room to get at the overflow valve, depends on the orientation of the pump to set the timing. More likely than not there is a failed O-ring or two. Your approach should solve that. If it doesn't, then perhaps the fuel filter holder is defective, maybe there is a crack in the m

Peter, The fuel heater is actually mounted on the head. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to. Weird setup, nothing like the heaters on other diesel models that I’ve seen. The lift pump is on the driver’s side of the pump, and has two lines going to it from the filter assembly. The fitti

If that lift pump is the same as the one on the earlier 603's, there is a fitting for the line that seals with an o-ring and is held in place with a snap ring. The o-ring is shot, but will only leak fuel out if the car is parked steeply nose down. Sounds as if the fuel thermostat is in the f

If you are observing air bubbles in the fuel through the clear lines, the fuel system has air intrusion via some source. Fuel system must not leak air. If you have a leak at the shut off valve of fuel, it also leaks air into the system, Air equals loss of fuel, which starves combustion, thus engin
