I just bought the mechanics kit from Diesel O-rings.com and I'm about to work on my 99 F250 CC. I downloaded the instructions from the site and I have the Chilton's manual but this is my first diesel project. I know it leaks diesel and I think a little oil. Reading threads from this forum lead me to start at the HPOP and fuel dump valve. Any pointers or things I should know before starting this project. Thanks for the help I've already gotten.

If you're going to try to combat all leaks, go for the pedistal o-rings under the turbo and pedistal and another potential leak is the EBPV, many gut it it can also be rebuilt if leaks are there as well. Inspect the fuel lines, and returns running along the heads, the have been known to wear around the vibration clamps causing a huge fuel leak, If wear is noted I would atleast remove the clamps and rewrap them before installing to prevent failure.

 

If the Parker sleeves have never been replaced on your fuel bowl, you'll need some no doubt. I've had to replace mine on my '02 already. The fuel leak is probably there or possibly the drain valve O-rings, which I also had to replace on mine too...
