My truck sprung a leak (fuel)

Postby gear jammer 91" » Sun Aug 09, 2009 2:52 pm

My injector return line started leaking at the T fitting on the back of the cylinder head. Is there a seal back there that can be replaced or do I need to find a new fuel return line?

Is this the line that goes from injector to injector on the pass side of the head, or the one that goes from the T-fitting in the rear, back to the IP? If tha latter, I have a $20 fix that bypasses the (in 06) $75 Cummins replacement.

It's the one that goes from injector to injector, and then back to the T-fitting. Do you think this is something cummins would have?

I added a small O-ring to the original rubber seal on the return line and it stopped the leak. My local cummins guy was having a hard time finding the part, so I took it into my own hands.

Sounds like a good plan.
