Default what the heck

Ok I got a 1991 f250 7.3 liter idi. And I got a good deal on it knowin it needed minor work. Well I got a new radiator on it alternator and batteries. Got it runnin like a top and the other day I went out and started it and its leakin diesel fuel from the fuel pump and the top of the motor. So my question is what would make it magically start doin that? Thanks

Sounds like you need to get a return line kit. Run you anywhere from $20-$50 and take 1-2 hours to install.

Bosch service centers carry them. PRO Tech Diesel, Glendive MT 59330 -- MerchantCircle.com

Give him (Joe Gillipse) a call for pricing. Yes, I know he's out of your state, but he's the only one I know of off hand.
