Fuel Return Line
Does anyone know anything about fuel return lines for a Ford F350 Turbo Diesel? Our truck is leakinf fuel and has been narrowed down to that and we were wondering how difficult it is to fix.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time

First, let me say Welcome to FTE! You will enjoy your time here-
As far as the return line goes, first you need to establish exactly where it is leaking from. If it is a steel line, it can be repaired with brake line, and flare fittings. If it is a rubber line, you just have to splice in a new piece where it is leaking. Plastic lines can be fixed, but it's generally not very reliable, and it's best to just replace those. Please post again to give us a better idea as to the leak.

Well, we found out that it wasnt a fuel line. It was the pump. The biggest problem we had was getting the turbo off because it was on top of the pump...its 4:30pm pacific time and its just now come off. Why cant this be easy?
