Hi all...does anyone know the best solution to the leakage problem (of fuel) on my 1986 6.9 return lines/o rings. I understand Ford dealers have a kit to replace all the tees, hoses o rings etc.? Or should I piece it together mysef? thanks craig-z

Well, after hunting and surfing around the net, calling about a dozen dealerships, etc., I have decided to replace all the hoses and tees myself.
I was able to come up with the Napa part #2-18447 as the "kit" that is available to replace all the o rings, tees and such on the 6.9 so now I am on my way to the Oregon City store to pick that up. I will let ya know how it all goes........craig-z

Cool gas, gas, cheapest Ive found..

The gasoline fiasco ........dont get me started....GRRR....anyway. prices are consistently better at the Pilot truck stop at Brooks exit on I-5 and the Arco at the Corvallis exit on I-5, if of course you happen to be in the area, have cash for Arco, and dont mind the truck stop environment, which, by the way, some thief got my card # and went on a shopping spree........

You got to watch those ARCO, if you don't have cash, what you save in price, you will loose with what they will charge for using a Debit card. And my milage goes way down on there fuel.

That's a great idea George. However, if you drive 15 miles to save 10 cents per gallon, what did you gain?.

The closest pump is the best.
