what a week

so the last two days i put 80 bucks in fuel in my truck and by the end of the day it was gone. Today i went to go put more fuel in it, and it of course ran out before i got to the gas station. so i walked to the station to put fuel in a can and bring it back and when i got back i noticed a puddle under neath and realized i had been 4x4ing the previous day.

Well when i had dropped this (new to me ) motor in i had gotten rid of the line that orriginally went to the fuel/water seperator on the driver side and ran a rubber line from the original off the tank to the pump and never tied it up. The drive line ended up rubbing a hole in the line and caused it to leak all the fuel out. YAY! Not

Well my question for you guys is. Should i pull my injectors and pop test them 1. for low pressure (white smoke at idle and while driving) 2 for stuck open pintles that could be just spewing fuel in causing my smoke problem and loss of fuel.

Anyways let me know what you guys think. as of right now im going to try and find a tubing bender and get that line replaced. Kinda waiting on justtin to see how much he will charge me for some new o-rings and other than that im going to do a run-down on my lines to make sure that nothing is leakin else where.
