Question Please Identify this fuel line.

Attaches to the fuel outlets. Lower and to the rear of the right side of the housing if I am not mistaken.

What on earth is this line called? I believe mine is cracked or leaking. Drains off of the V in this line.






Anyone ever see it develop a leak enough to fill the rear depression in the valley and out the drain hole? It is just pouring out and truck kerplunks, no knocking, just kerplunking and fuel streaming of the drain hole and out the drip pan below.
You guys are a great help.

Also, I replaced the turbocharger o-rings and may have bumped the line. Very possible.

Part Number?

Those are the fuel lines feeding the heads. One goes to each head, and yes, they are known to develop leaks, usually around where the hold-down is...

This should be the part number: F81Z-9B273-BN

I would still verify that is correct. Found it in this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...aakkkkkkk.html

Also, what year is your truck? There was a difference in the lines on some of the earlier SuperDuties (maybe early 99 only?). Those can rub near the fuel bowl somewhere and develop leaks there, too. I can't remember the exact details, but I remember seeing a thread about it on here recently.

Just picked up the part. How tight do the fittings need to be? And what about primiing before starting?

Electric fuel system... Turn the key... wait... turn the key... wait... turn the key and start.

tight, just snug and check for leaks.

Runs as if a cylinder is missing. No power at all, shudders with throttle.

Still air in fuel lines?

How long has it been running? It does take a few minutes to clean out the air, but no more then 5-10 minutes.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Couldn't rep you for it either, rep police are on patrol.
