    In order to take a spare pump along on cross country trips I need to
    test an extra pump from an xd2 engine which worked about 12 years ago
    and has just had a new front seal and "o" ring replaced. It has been
    set up on the bench with fuel and return lines, bled, but when I
    rotate it with a drill, it does not pump anythuing. A Bosch pump can
    be tested this way, but will it work with a Rotodiesel w/o the
    injectors hooked up? Around here (Detroit) no one will test a pump
    unless they rebuild it first and I don't want to take the trouble of
    swapping it onto the car just to try it out. Any ideas?

    Thanks
