m1009 injector issue

[THolzknecht]

I recently bought a m1009 with 13000 orignal miles and i have a few questions 1st is i think i have a bad injector front driver side its the only one that wetness around it and then the other day i had pure diesel in my drive way. i popped the hood whiles it was running and it was leaking well more like a constant drip where the fuel injector line is attached to the injector. next question does it need to be tightend or replaced. will the civilian 6.2 injector's work? not to mention the cucv keeps dying but it only dies when its in drive or reverse i have to put it in neutral while at a intersection and it idles weird aswell any help would be great guys

Try to tighten it first, It just might be loose.

ill try to do that after dinner should i put anti seze on the threads or teflon tape?

well let me explain first theres two things that could be leaking there the line to the injector or the injector itself. If its the line I would just simply retighten it slowly and see if it stops it if its the injector it might have a bad copper sealing washer but you could tighten it alittle as well

Don't go gorilla tight with it either. The line will crack if crushed. While using your 3/4" open end to tighten the injector hard line, make sure the injector isn't moving as well. If it is, loosen the hard line, tighten the injector up and then tighten the line up. Don't forget that the pair of return lines on each injector could also be the cause of the leak.

how much do the rubber return lines cost ?

Use Chain saw fuel lines. less than 20 bucks.

Probably not.
