sorry i cant help never had that problem,but i get the same way when my 7.3 is acting up,sometimes the best thing todo is to walkaway,and cool down.i have been known to throw a wrench threw a window or two.evertime i get the fuel return line leaking and i put on a new set i get the same way,sometimes its a 15 min job or 2 or 3 days.goodluck.

 

Take it apart and replace the o rings they are 20 something years old and brittle common problem
