Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Will I end up in 911?

Hey guys, this may be another fuel line problem, but I want your opinions first-symptoms-fuel everywhere-on starter, front drive shaft, oil pan, fuel bowl, trans... . , starts to drip puddle after shut down, forms 3 small puddles, more like damp marks,(3 because of where it drips off of thge components under the truck). Changed fuel return 2 1/2 years ago, never touched supply line, doesn't lose prime, truck has full power, no loss, truck starts fine. What do you all think this is?

Have you checked the drain valve on your fuel filter? Sometimes they can open slightly from vibration.

May have found the problem, loose Prime Loc line. We'll see tomorrow when I drive it further.

Kalaehina,



I had some problems with my Prime Loc lines too. The lines going to the fuel pressure gauge, yeah, I got the fancy Prime Loc gauge ;-) were zip tied together. The zip tie caused a crack in the lines and I would get a small drip after letting the truck sit over night. Never enough to pool, but the cracked line did cause a stumble when starting after sitting over night. One call to Prime Loc and new parts were on their way - for free! I guess it does not take that much air in the fuel lines to cause a stumble at start up!



Hope you found the fix,

T-Bone

Found the problem, it was a line that ran from the stock filter location to the new relocation, the hose sits in a U shape, had tightend and resealed the threads on the fittings on the new location and I suspect when I had loosened and tightened the hose I inadvertantly loosened the other end. The fuel was running down that line only, the one right next to it was dry so that was the dead give away. Anyway alls good and dry today, thanks for the advice guys... ...
