    PTFE...ERR.. noooooo.....replace, a leak is a lot more costly that a new pump!

    And in future use the vacuum port for bleeding, not the pressure port.

    I did state short term fix! Get him going over the bank holiday weekend.

    I honestly would advise the OP not to use PTFE and hope for a short term fix, we are talking about huge pressure here and if it pops there could be a substancial leak.

    BSP is a type of screw thread (British Standard Pipe). When you get the pump sorted you should consider getting a Tiger loop fitted,no more bleeding.
