need help

[2DMaxx]

Hey guys need some help here please .Just got m first duramax an 2003 ecsb with 120,000 , just driving it around the other day when I smelled fuel got it home and a little smoke was coming out ,I let it cool down and notice that the passager side rear injector leaking ...Now there is no clamp that bolts the injector to the valve cover i'm guessing that is why its seems like when I press on the more the more fuel comes out ....? Any one else had this problem ? and where can I get this clamp I'll take pics as soon as I can ...Forgive me if it's in the wrong forem, please move T hanks

LB7 Injector hold down is under the valve cover.... Sounds like your fuel line may have come loose. Post a pic up.

Agreed, see if you can tighten the high pressure line.

I had the same problem once. You are missing a clip and screw. But you can still tighten the injector line in the meantime to stop the leaking.

Like mentioned above, your lock & bolt is missing. I would check the other lines & make sure there locks are in place.

I did that all the screws are there just that one is missing .....Hopefully that it . Where can I get that clip ? Chevy ? Thanks for your help.....

Dealership or some one on here with a spare.

There is a torque spec for that line. Check here: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29273

I used the special socket: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...id=263&supersede=&store=snapon-store&tool=all

You can just tighten it, but be careful to not put too much on the nut.

Good Luck

so I went to try to tighting the fuel line with a wrench {I did not see the reply for the socket yet } I got in there and it feels tight is it the one fitting or is there one under the valve cover , I'm new to the duramax engines so I don' know to much about them yet ...So far pretty good ,The fuel seems to be coming out the middle of the fitting .Shoulg I get a new line ?

 

[DuraTitus]

If they are tight and still leak, I would say yes.

You can buy a set of remanufactured lines from Merchant-Automotive.com for $625

[2DMaxx]

can you just buy one line or do you have to by the set

 

[DuraTitus]

You have to buy a set if you get the reman ones.

They also sell new ones by the piece.

I would try taking the line out and cleaning everything up before I bought a new line.

So I finilly ordered a new new clip I will pick it up this monday . I'm just hope the clip not being there is making the line move around and leak I hope so if anyone else had this please let me know....

 

[delong_1]

The clip has nothing to do with it leaking I don't even put them on my truck anymore

 

[2DMaxx]

So , I put the clip on and it;s still leaking ...Should of knowned..seems to be alittle more now .Is there a oring on the injector I tightned it down with crowfoot socket it seems tight.

 

[Burn Down]

Did you pull it off and inspect the line yet? Check the seat surface for any imperfections, line & injector. Could be cracked?

The line is a metal to metal fit no seal on the high pressure stuff. I had a leak on my LLY line once. Loosen it from the rail and injector, then tightened both down slowly and evenly. I had to tighten the injector side really tight to get it to stop.

So I took off the line finally , cleaned it in and out .Took some compress air and blew out the line and top of the injector .. Had to do it like 2 or 3 times then tighten the line put a new clip on aand drove around and took it to work and so far nothing no drip or leak ...Thanks for the help guys wish me luck.......
