Leaking injector line

[Duke57]

I have an injector line that started to spray out of the compression nut that secures the line to the injector.
Do these lines develope hairline cracks near the flare? Cannot stop the spraying .
Where is the best/most affordable place to buy a new one?
My injector lines do not have those clamps that clamp all lines together, I thought that may be an underlying cause for this. Thanks.

You NEED those line clamps. They keep the lines from vibrating and cracking. Look on eBay.com.

Dave, eBay for clamps or injector lines....or both?
Don't want to get *****. I know accurate diesel always sold those and I think they have a presence on eBay. Will check out eBay. Can't drive truck till I get one. Might call international down here in WPB see if the can help. Just need one but should buy 8 new ones.

Look for both. Both are getting harder to find so it makes sense. I agree that Thewespaul is a good source.

I got a set of the clamps from accurate diesel, and they seem as good as the originals. I would definitely contact Wes before going to accurate.

I saw the clamps from accurate diesel and the complete set of injector lines with clamps for 3 bills. A lot of money for me at this time. I have no idea what the cost of a complete set of lines go for.

It's like buying a radiator support.....new or used. New , 5 bills, used it varies.

Wes can probably fix you up with a line and clamps.

Just called the International Harvester in Palm Beach County, $138 for the injector line I need, which is number 6.
That makes Accurate Diesel's price of 3 bills for a whole set set of 8 with the clamps look like decent price. Might just try to buy a used one. Already pm'd Wes, just waiting for a reply from him.
