OK, going through this again and just catching up as I may be going through this again. So here is a recap... So, the one from Memphis Equipment is out, because either they don't work or you will end up ordering more parts to fix it. Specifically a solenoid valve and a check valve. That one...

It explodes!:beer:

Great video Heavysteven. I loved it. What did you shoot it with. Clear pictures! (Yes, you don't need to remove the big tube though) I'm gonna add to your rep power for that one. Good show.

They do have a tendency to go flying, don't they. Same here...

The fuel line is the same as the one on top of your injectors, where all the injectors have one line tying in the six cylinders, all with different connection points. There was a "tee" connection between (I believe) cylinder 3 and 4, and the third leg of the tee had a line of same material that...

...and if you cannot get it apart, as I could not, parts to plug are available at Lowes. You need to bring all your ends in there for matching up, but between plumbing and hardware, you can get all the plugs and bolts to cap it off. Best price I've gotten was about $96 plus shipping, and we...

The new manifold heater at SECO is $98.45. Credit cards accepted. I pulled the clip out as stated above, tried to pull the rest of it apart, and it didn't seem to want to work with me. I got it covered. Thanks.

OK, just got all lines plugged on both sides. Broke an injector line doing it. Went up to O'Reilys and got new line and brass compression rings and fit a new line on there where the flame heater fuel line hooks up at the "Tee". The old line was very brittle like plastic with no flex anymore to...

I suspect this cold may also be part of our problems with contraction of parts too. Maintenance on spring loaded or compression parts, hoses, and orings could go up. Just a theory.

Yep. And that's why they're called flame heaters. They can be dangerous, and need good PM, especially if leaking. Mine was leaking raw diesel on the engine block, exhaust, and turbo housing, which got very hot. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby while doing PM after starting up and discovering the...

You're probably right. I would just like to get it back to original if affordable. SECO in Augusta has 96 in stock. I've written them for a quote. I'll let everyone know the price when received, as it appears to be a high failure item. In the meantime, I'm capping everything off tomorrow and...

LOL, well, at least you have a spare. I just went to Lowes and spent $12 on parts to cap all mine off. Will finish it up tomorrow. Uses 5/16"/24 threads on the input side. I'm going to use a bolt for a cap, and found the female caps for the line end in the plumbing dept.

Well, I took it off now so I could go up to Lowes and see if I could find some caps and screws to go in. Looks like medium thread, not coarse like pipe thread. Tried some of my air hose fittings, wouldn't go either, even though they were close as could be and I had to work with it to find out...

OK, now that I know the name I can continue my research. Lots of folks are capping off and changing out Orings, but I cannot find the specifics of where you cap it off safely. Cranetruck, I saw one thread where you had one at one time. Do you still have one for sale? If not, anyone who scraps or...

Fire extinguisher standing by... This ties directly into the main fuel injector line, and is located over the top of the turbo unit. It is leaking down on the turbo and burning off, so I'm grounded. Tech manuals show something like it, but it is a different mount. It has two lines in/out, and...
