As some of you know when I picked up my new M15 some Ahole had twisted the fuel line off where it comes out of the injector pump.
I have a new line ordered but it appears that it is impossible to get to the rear of the engine where the fuel line goes into the block to send fuel into the injectors.
Does anyone have working knowlege of how to replace that line other than pulling the engine or removing the cab?
It looks to me like I may have to cut an access hole into the firewall under the dash to get to the infernal thing.
I have also considered replacing the damaged part of the line with a braided stainless steel line and attaching it to the existing line with a compression fittiing.
My old school Cummins mechanic says I can do it but that it will leak eventually due to vibration.
There is not alot of room to work on that side of the engine but at least you can see what you are doing.
Any ideas from subject matter experts????
