Leaking injector fuel lines
Leaking injector fuel lines
So for a little background, I am swapping an om617a into my Toyota pickup and I have it in and currently running. Only problem is that its leaking copious amounts of diesel from the fuel supply lines on the first two injectors and also pooling up on top of the fuel filter. Now it wasn't leaking when it was in the 300sd but I took the fuel supply lines off to try and bleed the air out and used the hand pump(probably used it way to much but it just wouldn't start). I have tried taking the hard lines on and off to see if they would seal back up but no luck so far. Is there some kind of thread sealant that your supposed to use?
Sorry for the long post but its pretty much not drivable seeing as the diesel is practically water-falling off the side of the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The crush washers are one use. You don't need to loosen anything to bleed the system, there is a hole already in the filter base to the return side for that.
mine was the crush-washers...pretty easy fix
