Starting Problem

I have an 88 f350 with a 7.3l and after it sits overnight it seams like the fuel is leaking back into the tank cause it take alot of cranking to get it started. does this even when block heater is plugged in. any suggestions?

Well known problem! Grey hoses on return line system? Original hoses leaking air, also o-rings on injector return caps get hard and leak air. Replace all injector orings and return line hoses. Kits available with cap, hose, clamps on line. "Injector return line kit" search should give you secveral options on e-bay.

ou814us2,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI forum.

As KJLYPW said it is probably the return lines and O rings on the injectors, common problem.
