Oil Leak from exhaust

[Mikey90744]

Im no trying to hijack this thread, so tell me and Ill shut up if you feel like I am

the line you fixed (IM assuming the ones on top of the injectors with the Ts in em) what do they do exactly? Ive heard people mention injector return lines, whats the purpose of them???

Fuel return lines I believe, excess fuel is routed back to the tank after injector and or flame heater

I hear ya but it doesnt make sense to me, so I started this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/71312-fuel-return-line.html so I don't take over your thread here, I should have just done that in the first place,

Sorry

Ok, only two more to go. Missing some compression fitting for the 1/8" line. The big problem is how the heck do I get to the 1/4 tubing up under the injector pump. Guess I have to remove the winch drive shaft.

Install is turning out nice.

Got the 1/8" tube in and ran the truck. A couple small leaks fixed and she is solid.

Now coming the fun part line from the injector pump to the flame heater pump. It's 3/8" and I got it off with out removing anything. Love my gear wrenches. I hope the reinstall goes smooth.

Also, truck start faster.

I am now convinced the oil in my exhaust was from idling. Took it out on the highway and it cleared up.

Carbon seal in turbo is bad and thus is leaking oil into the turbine housing, time for a rebuild.

Long drive on and off the freeway cleared it up.

Steven I've seen your Youtube video also RE the fuel line replacement you did. Is that yellow line rated for handling fuel, though? Specifically will it handle diesel and WMO?

This is a job I need to do probably next spring.

It's DOT air brake line. It's been in the truck over a year with no issues. I run diesel and transmission oil with no problems to date.

Got it from McMaster Carr.
