Keith Browning Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a 7.3L idi with a fuel leak at the number 2 fuel line at the pump coming from the center of the nut along the line. Looks like the line has been replaced and maybe stripped or the fitting is damaged causing a poor seal. I need to know if the injector line fittings on the pump are available otherwise he will need a new pump which is kind of a shame to have to do for a stupid fitting. Our part list does not show them separately. Anyone know otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think I would be inclined to call a known good diesel injection rebuilder depot to see if you can get one. Or see if you can get one off a wrecker unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hey Keith I will get 1 for you, being that I now work at a rebuilding shop and have access to these parts. These are not avail. service parts but I have some cores that I can get 1 from. I will let you know shortly. Keith I was just handed the fitting, send me your address and I will get it out today. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Keith have you recieved this yet? I see the last time it was scanned was 10/27/07 @ 4:31pm in Parsippany,NJ. But nothing since, it shows being on time with a delivery of today 10/30/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah it came today Larry, I had to wait until I got home to know. Thanks. Now, could ya ask your fuel guy if there are any surprises behind that fitting? It is for the #2 cylinder which is on the bottom. Keeping things clean is not a problem but flying or rolling parts could be if I don't know about them. Pump on or should I take it off? Torque value or just snug it up?

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 No suprises to be had there is a torque spec, just waiting for my pump shop to get it for me...stay tuned... If it was me I would pull it off just to make sure that everything else is good with it. 52-60 lb.ft. torque. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Worked well, the leak is fixed. It appears as though someone has recently replaced the line, all of the return hoses and injector collars along with the injectors. I put the old fitting in a vice and installed the line which I could rock and twist with the nut tight! I didn't see anything wrong with the fitting but there had to be something.

Keith Browning Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Fixed the leak Larry. Thats all the guy expected which is good because the truck still ran like crap. Old Italian mason - we have quite a few still cruising around in 1980's trucks. I am actually surprised that both are still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
