gtoasterboy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 hey guys. i have a 6.7 that came in pouring out fuel. inspected vehicle and found that some how the return line on injector 1 was cracked. simple enough to fix, no problem. well, that was before i removed all the things getting in the way to perform the repair. once everything was out of the way i found the return line fitting going to that injector was brocken as well. now i have to replace the return line assembly. so in short has anyone had to do this while not performing a whole fuel system replacement ? is it possible to sneak it out ? also does anyone know if there is a labor op number for this. i havent had anyluck finding it if it is there. thanks in advance for any help and any suggestions.

mchan68 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Are we talking about the main rubber line by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtoasterboy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 yes the black line that goes to all eight injectors and the secondary fuel filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I've changed that hose ONCE, after it had ruptured and I believe I MT'd it. Almost every one of those cheesy plastic pushpin retainers broke despite being as careful as I possibly could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtoasterboy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks , thats what I was thinking I had to do. I suppose I could claim labor ops for anything That is getting in the way as well. But yeah those things do look very flimbsy. according to the history it was replaced not to long ago so I'll have to get with our warrenty admin to see if it would be an spw repair. But regardless, thank you for your time and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have had several off and they are not too bad. Remembering how it is routed can be a little tricky though. I also find that any plastic retainer on these engines suck from the hose ties to the sound sheild retainers that cover the injectors - have your parts department keep some in stock!
