Return line leaks

[83ford]

Ok I've been fixing return line leaks for the last month no joke I can't get them to stop.theres one injector that won't quit and every time I fix it it'll stop for about then it starts pourin fuel agian like in about 30 secs it fills the motor.tryed to fix it today with a new cap cause I just put orings last week and now it's squirtin fuel out the top and ******* it at the bottom.i love this truck but I'm tired of this.i wanna be able to drive it.what I can I do I've gotta have it I ain't got nothin else to drive right now

Injector might be stuck open.

Would that make it come back out the cap?

Sory your having issues with leaks. Can you tell us where you purchased the return line kit? Also I found it best to use an exacto knife to cut away the casting flash under the cap. You usually can feel the sharp edge where the o rings is supposed to slide past. Also are you feeling the cap completely set correctly? You need to feel it snap into place twice. There should be a small gap between the hard line nut and the plastic cap. Might try placing an old o ring between the nut and the injector plastic cap. Sometimes that acts as the needed pressure to install tha cap all the way down on the injector.

Ya I did all that lol put alittle grease in the cap like last time which it sealed it last time and it didn't work this time.it gets worse by turning it.and the local parts store I think it's a ford kit or somethin like that I've used it before and it was good I've never had problems like this

Would a stuck open injector make it run
Bad cause it runs good

Yep been there before. But then I said hey I can get this el cheapo part from Vatozone and be back on the road same day I'll do that then the parts fails so now I have to spend more time on this and redoing all this work again when I could have just ordered the good parts online and only have to fix it once.
Theres a lesson in here somewhere.

we used a napa kit on our 6.9, over a year now probably 3-5k no leaks, got a kit from conestoga for 7.3 with pump and injectors, only about 2 hrs on that one so far, still puttin it back together.

Could.
I would do a whole return kit. Some of those lines are wonky.

Please explain this post. Are you saying the return line cap nipples were the wrong size???

 

[83ford]

No somethin about the plastic it's self seemed thicker and was tighter on the injector.i couldn't stick my finger as far in ok the old cap as I could on the newer one.
