New Tires, New Rims, and New Fuel leak

[rottiedog]

Finally got my 14's mounted on the OD Iron rims and swapped out the 11's. I think it looks really good. Can't wait to get power steering now. FIxed a fuel leak last week betwwen the secondary filters and the pump. Today, big leak on the passenger side above the Turbo. I didn't even know that fuel went to that side of the engine. It is one of the two rubber couplers on the top. Gushes fuel really good. Looking at the TMs now to see how to get these off.

Pics of new tires. Anybody want 6 11.00X20s in great shape??

truck looks great, it will probably be allot better after you get the power steering installed.

How tall are the tires I could probably use them but i dont need the rims any chance you could get them broken down prior to shipment? What are you asking

Confused now.....Well I am always confused but this is different. The manual states that these are water outlet manifolds....

I turn the fuel pump on and it looks like and smells like fuel sparying out of the rubber coupler on the front.

GO

If engine has top-mounted, uncovered manifold heater
ignition unit, four of 12 machine bolts (1), were taken

I will get out and measure but if my memory is correct, the 11.00 are about 42 inches high.

Can you take a pic of what your taking about?

Maybe you have a leak in your Cold start manifold heater lines? The coolant manifolds definitely should not be leaking fuel!

You do have a manifold flame heater, right?

Went and checked the leak again. Not where I thought but it was close. I think it is the preheater. Can I just block that off over at the T-connector near the injectors?

Yes, you can just eliminate the tee in the return line(with a new piece of line. The other little line can be plugged at the injector pump, by removing the fitting and useing an 1/8" pipe plug.

btw, 1/4" DOT airbrake line works well for the return fuel line.

nice looking deuce. I like the camo job as well.

42" will be perfect. I need five, what are you wanting for them. PM me if you want.

Leak fixed! Thanks.

Spent a lot of time with degreaser and a toothbrush on the engine. I can see the block now. Loks like the line that runs from the turbo to the block is leaking a little.

One leak at a time.....
