I work for a pipeline company and work on a lot of valves and pumps. Some pumps have mechanical seals and some have packing.
It sounds like the packing you are using is Teflon, which is very soft. The last packing that I got from our Dealer when redoing a Farmall 450 water pump was graphite, which is a littler harder and does not squeeze out as bad as Teflon. If these are spit rings, make sure you offset the cuts, I usually offset 45 degs. I have the best luck at work with a combination of Teflon and graphite. First ring in is graphite, then Teflon and the last ring graphite. With the graphite being the first and last in the stuffing box, it holds the Teflon in place and keeps it from be squeezed out. Hope this helps. John In Iowa
