Not to burst your bubble.
How are you going to get the pressurized fuel?
You can't leave the one at the regulator just hanging
if any fuel is getting past the pinch and there is not
any good way to add a "T".
The only sure way would be oi install the plug from the
back into the front of the head. But were back to getting
at the fitting.

arrrggh, you're right. I'd have to cap off the line I remove from the regulator. Dang, don't know whether the hydraulic shop would have such a fitting.
If you think you are getting pressure to one head and not the other then just jump from the back of one head to the other. But both of those are damn close to the exhaust pipes.

I went by the dealership and looked at those ports on the back of the heads. They really are right next to the exhaust pipes. I just assumed I couldn't find custom fittings that would make the short right turn I'd need. But now, I'm slapping myself because the stock banjo bolt/fuel line fittings would work. I expect that I'd have to buy two complete fuel line assemblies and banjo bolts, then cut the metal tube off close to the banjo and replace the line with rubber. Unless I could find those at a dismantler, which I doubt because they don't inventory little parts like that, I'd prolly be paying $100 or more for each at the dealer. Dealer already closed here.
If anyone has a couple of fuel lines laying around, I'd sure like to buy them.
Thanks, I sent him an email. Really needed to get my truck home today and start working on it, but couldn't find anyone to help me tow it. $#@#$%2 I'm hurting. Need to get back to work.
Did you pull the back plug on the head to see if you have any fuel pressure? I'd try that first. Then I'd pull the banjo bolt and see if you have fuel coming out there. The check valve might be clogged up with trash........just a thought
Also I would not give up on the hydraulic shop. Take photos of what you are working
on and how much room you have to work in.
You want something like this.
USE copper washers. Stat-o-seals are nice but I don't think the best for you in this case.
BTW Stat-o-seals is an O-ring inside a metal washer.
The size is not the correct for your use.
I would not use a hose clamp do to risk. Have a hose made up in a braided
line and the ends crimped on with AN fittings on the ends. Also make sure
that the banjo fittings have the correct AN fittings on there ends.
One note about banjo fittings they don't like being over torqued. They
can shear off if they are.

Wow, those would work great. You think hydraulic shops have such a thing? I'll check with them Monday. Heck, they may even have fittings that let me use metal tubing. Guess I can pull one of the plugs out of the head and take it to the hydro shop, or better - just buy new banjos and see if they have the line fitting for them.

The dealer tech pulled both back plugs and said the pressure was low, but he didn't have the fittings to test pressure - or else he'd already spent too much time on it (I had approved 2 hrs of labor - they charge $150/hr???) and it was close to quitting time.
Yeah, it could just be plugged. won't know til I tear it down. Where is the check valve?
