fuel is blended for the area its sold in so it wont be the same in fl as in mn

Well then that would kinda rule out winter blend fuel for bad mpg. Have you had heavy right foot syndrome lately? lol:

No, cus of the water problem, I have been babying her. Here are a few pics that I took. Is this what "blow off" looks like?

thats the oil residue from your ccv not the pipe gaskets we're talking about a ccv delete will stop that problem

[H3Spartan117]

And what is a ccv delete? I am steal learning what everything is and what it means. Sounds like we are talking about removing a/the ccv?

well i would tell you but i just looked back thru and saw you have a 6.0 ive not done one of those yet do a search and see its probally similar to doing one on a 7.3 done a few of those and its easy

Ok, thank you. But what would be causing this all of the sudden to guzzle diesel like it is candy?
