    Does fuel line size matter THAT much?

    what is this wire called on the Water in Fuel sensor? Part #?

    I am tracking a fuel leak/air intrusion and my half cocked water in fuel sensor wire finally broke off completely. Anyone know a part number or actual name to order a new one or do I need to get lucky in a junkyard? Thanks folks

    Too Much Fuel or Something Else

    Hello all, I bought this truck last year, and I cannot thank all of y'all enough for the help that you have provided and still deliver to this day. Today I'm coming to you with a problem, which I think isnt real major, but its an interesting set of circumstances that both caused and are an...

    Cat P-Pump Swap???

    Anyone put a P-pump from a cat 3208 on their IDI? It’s and 11.6L engine rated for around 210 depending on the factory setup. The cc per injection has to be much larger than a DB2. Downside is that even if someone has done it, it would require a custom intake and very little room for a turbo if...

    Loss of power under load

    Hey all. I have a 95 d350 with 225,000. The last week I've been having issues with it running properly. At first it would stutter and die like it ran out of fuel but Only in the morning.

    Tank selector unit

    Yesterday I filled up and flipped over to my front tank and took a road trip pulling a 14 foot enclosed trailer . When I got to my destination(hour drive) I noticed that the gauge had not moved! I flipped the tank gauge and my back tank showed a 2/3 tank. I'm guessing that its a stuck solenoid...

    Anyone running Jet A with stanadyne mixed in on their 6.9

    My buddy sells aviation fuel and just gave me 2 barrels of jet A that was drained from a tank and can’t be sold for airplane use now. He has been running it in his 2000 Cummins for a few years now with no issues. He is mixing in standyne for some lubrication as jet A is pretty dry I guess. Just...

    Acting like it's out of fuel

    I drove my truck up to 8000' on Mount Lassen in northern California yesterday. When I reached a parking lot near the summit and stopped to look at my map, the truck hesitated a couple of times at idle, exactly the way it does just before it runs out of fuel. My gas gauge don't work and I know I...

    I noticed the fuel line that runs from the rear of the engine compartment (near the glow plug relay) and back toward the fuel tanks is leaking all over the frame of my 1989 idi. It looks as if there's several different types and sizes of tubing that have been spliced together over the years by...
