Any chance of having some pics?

Well....after checking around the local area, no one could give me an idea or wanted to give me any suggestions as to what to do for the fuel return lines off the valve. So, I went to NAPA and got some 3/8inch fuel line, and then came back home and cut the brass crimps off the old lines and...

LOL...that's great! You lucked out with the extra heating options! There is a block heater installed and the coolant heater, haven't been able to determine whether or not it is in good shape or not. Going to be flushing it and checking it after pulling the radiator and having it pressure...

I'd like to eventually get one in the near future, but getting the truck running right is a priority first. Doing little upgrades such as spin on filters and such are a plus while fixing everything first. And not hard to do. Best way to get something like this done, with good results and not...

Congrats....great looking truck

I bought a dual feed fuel line kit and spin on fuel filter kit from Ken Spencer. I was piecing everything together (sort of pre-assembly), what a great kit to purchase. I told him I had the M818 and he made sure that the correct fittings for the fuel valve were included. It is a well thought...

It looks almost factory. Like the way it looks.

On the supply lines, I cut off the hose and cleaned all the brass fittings. They look like they will be fine to re-use. The return lines look like I'll need to have to take off the fittings and see if I can re-use them and have them crimped on the hoses. Have to find a place to do that...

I'll check and see if I can re-use the fittings and order some of the push lok hose from Parker. One of the things I'm trying to figure out, while draining and cleaning things on the truck, I found that someone had un-plugged the wires from the backside of the headlight buckets. I started...

So the feed lines are 1/2inch and the return lines are 3/8inch? The Parker push lok hose (836) looks like it is compatible with diesel. Just have to figure out what size the threads are for the fittings....I'm assuming they are NPT?

Pretty sure they are the original ones

Drained the coolant out of it today.....pretty muddy looking. Will flush out the motor later. Want to get the radiator checked too.

Got an idea of where I can find the lines or where I can get the correct fitting on line somewhere? Thanks.

Went to one of the Mack truck locations in the area to see about getting the hoses made for the fuel valve...they wanted $30 to have one hose made and said the other one they would have to take apart and reuse the fittings...going to check a few other places.

Welcome aboard

As per suggestions of members here, I used some 0000 steel wool to clean the inside of the valve. Now I need some new O-rings and I can put it back together. Gonna find a place in the area that can make new short lines from the valve. Be easier and a lot less of a headache for me. Now to get...

I used some 0000 steel wool to clean the inside. Looks good. Thank you.

Thank you. Sounds good.

I have read every post in this thread at least three times referencing what I need to do, removal, dis-assembly and what you should replace when apart. If you know of where it says the best way to clean the valve (what to use or how others have done it) and I missed it, let me know. Thank you.
