    Diesel line routing

    Is the hard shiny fuel line reusable? I do not see hose clamps on those lines where they hook up on the FSV. Is there a proper way to remove and reattach the shiny fuel line?

    Diesel Down! Lift Pump Issue. Advice Needed

    Lift pump replaced. I am curious about blockage in FSS. That is the "fuel selector switch" that switches the supply between tanks right? I m only using the rear tank due to an un-diagnosed leak on the front tank. Switch still works. Can it be removed and cleaned? Or should I try to toggle the...

    Agreed Sir. That piece of fuel line on the intake side was like a piece of chewing gum. I replaced it with hopes that it might have been the culprit. Still not getting any fuel to the filter head. Thanks for your input.
