Leaking injectors

[International-Harvester91]

Hi everyone i, first off have to say that i am fairly mechanically inclined but i do not know much about diesels. The other day i looked at my injectors and they are leaking diesel onto the intake manifold. This seemed to happen after i turned up my pump, but i did not turn it up much and i have a pyrometer and all is good there, so i just think the seals are worn out. The only place i can really find the parts i need is here. 1991 FORD F-250 SUPER CAB Fuel Injector O-Ring


Now i dont know if that is a good price or not so any input would be awesome, and would it be a good idea to replace the injectors while i am at it? Thanks and once again im not good with diesel matenece so any help or input would be awesome

the o-rings are usually the problem, no need to replace injectors, oh and be carefull with the caps , they will break

im pretty sure i probably already broke one trying to tighten the lines haha but i think that kit on rock auto (the link above) has the caps with it well it better for 75 bucks, it has a pic in it if you click more info

Thanks, Jordan

I agree with the o-rings. Be sure to remove each line separately.


I'M KIDDING! Remove it as one piece. I got a call the other day asking how each line came out!

[International-Harvester91]

now you got me confused man lol, but it looks like the lines can only come out one way

[Dirk]

They do as far as I'm concerned. But apparently that doesn't stop people from trying craziness.

ok thanks alot and i have another question, with my stock set up in my truck just turned up the pump a lil, the max i have gotten the pyro up to was 850 deg, thats tromped going up a hill, is that ok or should i be concerned?

[Dirk]

Sounds like you advanced the pump 2 maybe 3 teeth. Sounds fine.

ok thanks for all of your help :]

ok guys sorry to bring this back up, but i just got a kit that has o rings brass washers i believe and a hose and hose clamps and the injector caps, my question is how do i purge the injectors, or remove the air in the lines when im finished?
