Let me preface this by saying the previous owner or his "mechanic" did this and all I want to do now is to fix is properly without having to worry about it again.
The past few mornings I've been having the issue of crank, runs for three seconds then the engine wants to die unless I baby it with the pedal. It's obvious I have air intrusion and I can see the return caps on #5 and #7 are wet which means I need a new return line kit. My truck being a '89 should have the older style return kit but it appears that I have the newer style installed since I'm seeing most of the caps with an offset and red hose clamps
Looking at the valve where all the return lines connect to going back to the gas tank is where I'm getting confused. I'm not sure if this is sized for 3/16" hose or 1/4" hose.
There is a return line running from the #1 cap back to the fuel filter as well but has both green and red clamps on it...
Pretty much at this point I'm just needing to know whether to get the old or new style kit and take it from there. I am planning on doing the re-route as shown on the Conestoga website. With that return valve in the back I was thinking it should be using 3/16" but if it does have 1/4" on it and it's not leaking... <shrug> If more information is needed or better pictures taken, let me know and I'll answer. I also see a new CDR valve in the future as well...
