injector line problems

[10NUGGET01]

I got this truck about 5 months ago and I have a fuel leak. The guy I got the truck from changed the injector lines but didn't reinstall the washers. There are 4 of the 6 washers missing. Can I buy just the sealing washers or do I have to purchase all 4 new lines? Thanks for your help.

The engine I have is the LDT 465 C1 Whistler if that helps.

Try George at White Owl, he should have the sealing washers

We ask that members do not use bold HELP in titles, unless broken down on the road, in a true emergengy situation.

We know people post because they need help. That's the point of the site.

Yes, the washers can be purchased. Try an MV bussiness. Several site sponsors advertise on the site(left side of the main page).

Sorry about the bold help but I've looked and looked. It is like an emergency when I can't drive this awesome machine.

Thanks 73m819!!

If your leaking at the hydraulic head end of the lines, there is no washer there.

Overtightening may be your issue. You may need new lines.

I'll edit your title.

Looks like washers to me. I may be crazy but that's why im asking.

I just rebuild mine, no washers there.

 

[10NUGGET01]

Hmm...... im lost. If you can see the second picture there are 2 washers on the the far right 2 lines and some kind of thread tape on the others. Replacing the lines may be my fix then. Tired of scratching my head at this. Just stummped.

 

[doghead]

There should not be any thread sealant on them either.

They use a "self biting" ferrule.

You lines may have been bent out the way(wrong way to gain access). Never bend the lines.

You probably need new lines.

 

[doghead]

Your hydraulic head threads and seats may be damaged as well.

 

[nosajb15af]

No, those are the threaded sleeve inserts. Those lines shouldnt be taped either. Fuel shouldnt ever hit the threads. They are tapered ends and rely on compression to seal. Here is a pic..a little blurry, but you get the idea.

 

[10NUGGET01]

That's making more sense. Ive not built one before. The way it looks in the pictures is the way I received it. Is there a fix if for the threads and seats? Or is it a whole head replace? I've looked all over the internet for parts and the only thing I can find is a complete pump head and all and new lines of course. 1500 is the bill on that. I've looked for just the heads but can't find one.

Id call a local diesel engine shop. Parts might be standard enough for them to have in stock. I know my buddy has his entire IP overhauled locally for $450.

PM me your contact info....I have two parts engines out in a trailer that have been supplying parts for a few years. I think both of them have the hydraulic heads but I'd have to go check. You are not that far away.

 

[10NUGGET01]

I'll have to do that the. Just frustrated at this point. Summer is almost over and it needs to be out and about.

Id start with new injector lines. Cheaper than a new HH. Also, make sure it is leaking from the lines and not the center bolt on the HH.

Will do sir thank you. I've been pointed if serveral good directions this evening. Starting small and going from there.

Ok I think I might have found one of my problems. I think im getting fuel in with the oil. Has anyone ever heard of this before? If so what can the results be and how does something like this happen?
