How do I fix this??

[ASchwartz]

The engine was spotless before I drove to work. Now the injector appears to be injecting diesel into the wrong area (see arrow). Which washers do I replace or which nut do I tighten?

Your pic needs alittle more light I can't tell where it's leaking from nut if it were me I'd go & check em all.

Return line. Tap/tighten the banjo bolt(s). Get on down to your Cummins distributor and get some copper washers to replace your old compressed and scored ones.

I'm with Frank.



Get new horseshoe washers for the return line (aka Fuel Drain Manifold). If I remember correctly the torque spec is 10 psi.



It could be leaking from the top of the injector where the fuel line attaches, but this is not as likely. Tighten that down just to be sure (torque spec of 22 psi).

10 psi = ??? ft/lbs

Cooker,



Do you know what the conversion is from psi to ft/lbs?

 

[Cooker]

DUH!

Sorry, my mistake



I think I responded to a question reguarding boost before I typed my above response. Instead of psi it should read ft/lbs
