    M939 Series Vehicle Inspection in Texas

    Fuel system trouble, need help

    Check ALL your fuel lines and their connections. Rubber hoses dry out and crack. Mechanical joints loosen. You may be sucking air and/or allowing fuel to siphon back to the tank if there is a pinhole or larger leak.
