I hate the fact that fuel is going up , and know that even people with high mile per gallon cars will be forced to change plans on travel this year. I had almost 100 gals of Bio diesel put back and can fit a max of 60 gallons in my car plus the 25 gallons in the tank and still have room for...

I have found my injection pump leaking,,,but I'm not sure from what seal so I ordered a Pump seal kit,,fuel temp sensor and a Viton punp head O-ring. The seal that looks to be leaking is the back round plug that has the injector outlets around it. I don't want to mess something up, so what I...
