    Fuel injection line replacement?

    Pensacola diesel sells the set, I pulled the line number from the description. If you call them they might be able to sell you just the one. https://pensacoladiesel.com/product/6-9-7-3l-ford-idi-fuel-line-set/

    Loss of Power, Possible IP/Injector Issue

    It feels like the engine used to "grab" more if downshifting to reduce speed with the brake. At this point, I scheduled a compression test for this upcoming Tuesday. After a closer review of the maintenance records (Which seem fairly complete back to 86), it looks like only 1 injector was...

    6.9 IDI Hard Start/Air Intrusion

    Final update! It holds prime now. It was the Mechanical fuel pump. I really don’t regret replacing the rest of it, there was air getting in and fuel getting out of some of those other spots. Thanks for the input everyone!

    6.9 IDI Hard Start/Air Intrusion

    Update #2 I found this guy, runs from the hardline coming from the tanks, to the hardline going to the mech fuel pump. It’s sucking air. My question is should I be installing a 1 way valve or check valve on this line?

    6.9 IDI Hard Start/Air Intrusion

    Update: I have replaced one fuel cap that looked like fuel was getting around, and the bowl to the fuel water separator with a plastic see through one. The truck is still doing the exact same thing.

    Hello all, Working with an 86 6.9 IDI in an F250. truck suddenly began losing prime about a week ago. Symptom- When off for more than 5 minutes, starts immediately, then dies about 5-10 seconds later. Then takes about 2/4 10 second cranks to start. Looked through the forums. It does this on...
