I will be replacing my return lines this weekend, there shouldn't be a problem with pressure washing the engine before I do should there? It looks like it has leaked for quite a while and it is covered in oil.

The aftermarket kits are garbage when compared to caps purchased from Ford. Believe me.

I just finished mine up, it is a Dipaco kit from Accurate Diesel.
Everything went as expected, broke most of the old caps getting them off.
I have one leaking cap, I will pull it in the morning, I also found what appears to be a loose GP. When the engine was running and there was fuel in the bowl the GP sits in it was bubbling pretty well. I will sinch that down in the morning as well.

this morning I found that actually have 2 leaks.
The 1st seems to be a malformed o-ring.
The other looks like the cap may have had some debris in it, looked like a small shaving of plastic, but the o-rings look and it is snapping in place pretty well.

I got a dipaco kit from accurate diesel on ebay as well. Followed the directions I found on here, had one initial leak, pulled it and reseated it and everything was great. 4 months later I started smelling diesel and found I had a pretty nasty leak again. I pulled the components one at a time. First o-rings, which didn't fix it, then new hose and new clamps which didn't fix it, and finally replaced the new cap with one of the old ones I saved and it ended up being the new cap had failed already.

Now it seems like one or two of them may also be starting to leak so I may just suck it up and buy caps from the dealer because it doesn't seem worth the hassle to save a few bucks on an aftermarket kit that is going to fail after 4 months of light use

i like the kits made by Delphi.the early and the late kits both found on amazon.can also pickup a bunch of vition #111 there at same time.
Delphi did great.they use Goodyear SAE 30R7.the stuff i ran from/to my tanks to replace all the old rusty metal line before i put my truck on the road.that's real fuel hose,not that stuff that leaks in a week or a month latter.
http://www.goodyearep.com/productsdetail.aspx?id=10526
according to my records (found in my virtual garage-click on the truck under my username and scroll waaaaaaaaay down) installed @ 68k miles.kit went issue/leak free until recently i installed another one with a set of fresh Stanadyne G codes @ 95k miles.
(at which i forgot to include i used the same kit again in my records there w/ injectors.oops.)

The best hose is the parker barrier hose which I can supply but would like to see more interest in it before investing in a roll which to get a decent price is hundreds of feet.
Also the small size fits the early cap awesome and the next size fits the lates a bit loose but doesnt cause any problems with the PROPER clamps
And I do sell just vitons if wanted.

I know this is an old post but I wanted to point something out. The viton o-ring size above is incorrect, if you order the "111" size you will get 2 about 6" wide. I believe the correct size of the viton 75A is 011.

I'm sure it's just a typo, but wanted to save some ppl a lil hassle.
