Attempt gone wrong.

I attempted to crank up my injector pump but instead of black smoke and more power I ended up getting a drveway full of diesel fuel. I thought i had turned it up and when i went to run the truck fuel spued out everywhere. I thought it was maybe the flap wasnt on right i tightened it up some more but it still drippen fuel. Any ideas???

Well, if i had to guess, either you did something you weren't supposed to, or, like my truck, the gasket under that little triangle plate was dried out and brittle and is no longer sealing.

I don't know if its recommended, but i made a new gasket out of an old truck tire tube.
