After all these years, tonight the manifold heater starts leaking. There is a small hole just under the fuel inlet. Fuel just streaming out of there. I have never used the manifold heater, should I just bypass it? Do you just plug the inlet tube. Looks like just a 1/4 npt plug? Give me...
Thank you guys so much. I found what was listed as a "New take out" on ebay. Supposed to be here this afternoon. Hopefully it will be in good shape. I will PM you if things don't work out.
Turned out to be the fuel pick up tube. Long story short, truck ran fine off of a remote fuel tank. We isolated the problem to the truck fuel tank and when we pulled the fuel pick up tube out it fell apart. Tried to solder it back in, braze it back in, nothing worked. I have searched all my...
I have already done that jjb, thanks for the reply. I have also bypassed the fuel tank selector switch just to make sure I have no leaks there.
I'm going down to the truck this Friday and am hoping that opening the electric shut off solenoid by closing the thumb screw will make a difference...

My first reply didn't post, hmmm, what did I do. Anyway, in response to doghead:
Yes, M-931, modified with a trailer bed and extended frame to accommodate the RV 5th wheel hitch.
Yes, changed the main fuel filter and the small filter inside the injection pump. I have not looked at the...
Hey guys! Haven't been around in a while, mostly because everything has been running great and have been able to take care of what ever the big truck has needed but having a problem I'm hoping I can get some ideas.
Basically the idle drops down, sometimes to almost a stall. Starts up fine...
Finished her up yesterday
Finished up the project yesterday with some paint and some stars. She is ready to go down to the lake. We had not used the starboard fuel tank in a while and when we filled it up we had some fuel leaks. Replaced the fuel lines from the transfer switch and good to...
