A suction cover assembly for a reciprocating pump includes a suction cover nut having a nut face and a thread configured to threadably connect the suction cover nut to a fluid cylinder of the reciprocating pump. The suction cover assembly includes a suction cover having a cover face. The suction cover is configured to be held by the fluid cylinder such that the cover face opposes the nut face of the suction cover nut. The suction cover includes first and second seals having a leakage trap defined therebetween. The leakage trap is configured to trap leakage pressure during operation of the reciprocating pump. The suction cover includes at least one leakage channel that is configured to channel the leakage pressure from the leakage trap to an interface between the cover face and the nut face.

A pump drip control system for attachment to a pump assembly to prevent premature replacement of the pump. The control system includes a pump housing having a leakage collection chamber and a drip cap engaged with a second end of the leakage collection chamber. The drip cap includes a circumferential channel defining a flow path to a gathering chamber. The pump drip control system further includes a slinger assembly located within the leakage collection chamber, and wherein, in operation, the slinger assembly directs liquid leakage from the impeller shaft to the drip cap and the circumferential channel within the drip cap which directs the liquid along the circumferential flow path and into the gathering chamber. The gathering chamber can hold a predetermined amount of liquid until the liquid evaporates and includes a liquid exit port for draining excessive liquid out of the pump housing to another location.

Embodiments relate to a high-pressure fuel pump having a pump piston which, during operation, moves in translation between a pressure chamber and a leakage chamber. The leakage chamber has a leakage collecting region and an equalizing region. A low-pressure damper having a bellows-shaped corrugated damper plate is arranged in the equalizing region.
