Air in Fuel
Well,
I think that I'm getting air in my fuel line.
I noticed that one of my injector's was a 'little wet behind the ears' yesterday and after letting the truck sit overnight, i had a tough time starting ol' betsy.
I did my lines and seals just over a year ago so im not wanting to go through that whole ordeal again ..
and I was just wondering if it is sensable just to replace the one leaking seal?
Also, I have seen on this site before that one of you had installed a clear fuel line to show if the line has any bubbles forming?
Where do you put this clear line?
from the pump to the filter?
what type of clear tubing is required? something that doesn't break down in diesel of course.
ALL AND ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

I had several problems with leaking of the o rings at he return lines. I went to ford and got some of the special orange o rings. I only needed one and problem solved. I saved the rest for later times. I don't have that truck anymore but I also had trouble when I parked with the nose high in a driveway with less than a quarter tank of fuel. I have read that there is a bleed back hole in the fuel pick up and when fuel is low the air can get into the return causing hard starts .

thanx hudson,
never checked how much fuel there was in the tank. I'll remeber that one next time it happens.
It hasn't for awhile (like a ghost or something).
Thanx anyways for the tip.
