Hello Sacred Oil Burners of the internet, i have two questions relating to fuel on my pickup trucks.
The first is a 1985 F250 4x4 extended cab 6.9 sidewinder with a C6. I recently replaced the injectors with a good set i had laying around and i have fuel bubbling at the base of a few injectors where it screws into the head, they have new copper washers and I am wondering if someone else has run into this problem before. They are leaking enough to fill the glowplug pocket and its getting frustrating. I have all injectors torqued to 35 ft lbs. What could be causing this leak?
My second truck is my 1985 single cab 7.3 088 ATS turbo with a ZF5. Recently my dual tanks have quit working and I had an idea maybe someone else has done on here. I am planning on painting this truck soon, I will be removing the bed anyways to paint it and the back of the cab. I am considering removing the two tank system and building a single tank that holds 40+ gallons with an external electric pump. Has anyone on here deleted their dual tanks for a big single tank before? If so, i would appreciate some guidance and tips while building this fuel set up. Thank you in advance.
