Fuel Injection Lines
Whats up guys? I'm new to the site so let me get the formalities out of the way. Name's Chris and I've got a '90 7.3L F-250. She's a good truck, but I'm having some problems...
my problem is, i keep losing fuel lines. it seems like every few weeks im losing one like clockwork. i dont know what the problem is. i just lost one the other day and i cant seem to find where it is coming from. im pretty sure its leaking on the injector pump end. they usually break on the injector end. i just had all of my injector seals replaced back in the fall. my fuel filter was also replaced earlier in the fall. its a real pain in the *** replacing these things all the time. my biggest concern is that its my only vehicle so i have to drive it and i dont wanna do any serious damage by driving it on less than 8 cylinders. it is obviously not firing properly since whichever line is leaking, that cylinder is not getting enough fuel. any help you guys could offer would be great!

there should be two injector line clamps on each side.
3, 3line clamps and one four line clamp. without them, they will break.
can't find the clamps? there is an ebay auction right now for all eight injector lines and the clamps... looked like $6 last time I saw.

are you serious? thats really all it could be? well thats a simple solution to a pain in the *** problem if thats what it is. thanks for the help. is it safe to say that its the vibrations from the engines causing those injector lines to break? if anybody else can offer some other possible solutions, help a fellow diesel burner out! thanks again y'all.

If so where'd you get that screen over the intake opening? That'd be pretty handy.

My engine looks much nicer.....well it did look much nicer before all the bad weather.
It needs a bath in a bad way right now.
That is my engine before it was installed.
I have found there are a lot of things that can be shown with pictures much easier than it can be described.
I have a lot of different pictures I have come across that show how something should be which I have saved to my computer.
