    If your looking for a pin hole in your suction side, you most likely will not see a leak. You can plug the line at the FTP remove line from the tank. Get a psi regulator and put around fifteen psi on the system and you will find the leak. Also you can put one way flow check valves in your fuel system, to prevent any drain back. I only do this if problem can not be located.

      You said it yourself, "some, if not all". Differential locks are extra cost items when you order just about any vehicle. Even if it is part of a cold climate package with battery blankets and fuel heaters, it's still an extra cost item. If it doesn't have it, it's because somebody didn't check the appropriate box when they ordered the vehicle.

  • @tiredoldmechanic1791
    @tiredoldmechanic1791 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does the fuel system pull fuel from the bottom of the tank or is it connected to the top of the tank? If it's connected to the top of the tank there's a dip tube inside the tank going to the bottom of the tank. Those dip tubes can crack and suck air. Your fuel pressure gauge problem might be an over pressure problem. I can't find a good diagram of the fuel system online but your manual should have one. There is some type of pressure regulator in the system to return fuel to the tank when the pressure reaches a certain point. It might be on the injector pump. If that doesn't work, the pressure will go too high which could damage the gauge, the lift pump and the injector pump. I have heard of people blocking fuel return lines on diesel systems to try to get more power and the black smoke. There should be a diesel injection shop in your area that would have someone who is familiar with the system.

      Draws from the bottom, returns to the top. It's the most basic inside the tank, it's just a welded fitting, no line or anything. The newer trucks yeah, but the antiques like Steve has, and my '84 359 are pretty plain and simple.

We had a 1950s vintage cab over International tractor that had top draw fuel tanks, aluminum frame and air suspension. All of the 1970s Ford Louisville models we had drew fuel from the top fittings as did the 1970s model Macks. Most tanks have a lower well in the bottom of the tank that the dip tube sits into. They can be plumbed either way which is why I asked the question.

      What's interesting about that idea is that many fleet operators are finding just the opposite. All the pollution control stuff fails or causes other issues. E.g. EGR, DPT, SCR, etc.. You can buy an old truck for pretty short money and if you can maintain it yourself save a lot of money over having to deal with all the modern electronics which require computers and software to triage. There are some here on YT that talk about the greater downtime of their modern electronic trucks vs. their older more mechanical ones. Regards
