Well spring time is short, we reap what we sow So kitchen cabinets are a winter job Playing trucks is a spring and autumn (sorry fall) job As some jokers will complain it's to hot in the summer Priorities are what it's all about, put your foot down, say it like it is And let me know which hospital to send the get well card to The good news is you have a air leak in the return to tank side Bad news is you haven't found it yet Paul -

On the lower LHS of the injector pump there are two sets of numbers, guessing when it has been rebuilt it was re stamped then on the governor housing there is this tag and my injector pump looks like this Paul -

I think so, but could be wrong The brains trust on here will have the answers But it is pretty standard every time a motor is rebuilt it is bought up to the latest standards and the maximum power settings At least in Australia, this is the case Paul -

You need to remember your only looking at a tag on a rocker cover at this stage There is pretty simple injector pump and possible turbo changes to get what your chasing Pretty sure you can turn a Maxidyne into a Thermodyne but not the other way around Paul -
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" I have heard that quoted about even on this side of the world Whether you like Trump or not, you have to admit he gets things done Paul

If this is governed at 1700 it sounds like a Econodyne This is helpful information Paul -

And also be realistic with your expectations, the E6 is only a small motor but does have a big heart All of that been said, you won't ever mix it with the big boys in modern equipment Paul -

How do you know it's a 300 E6 and not a 350 E6 ? Does it have a boost gauge ? If it does have a boost gauge, what does it read when pulling hard ? Whats the diff ratios ? The E6 has to be reving right at the speeds you want to travel to get the power you want Is this a Thermodyne, Maxidyne or Econodyne E6 ? All of this information is important before changing things It's easy to spend money and not get the result your chasing if you don't know your starting point Nail down the points you can 100% say are 100% correct and accurate and then and only start making plans Paul -

Vlad most of these plunger pumps peak when they are unlocked Bob there's a lotta little hoses etc to leak from Also the return to the tank in the tank will have a pipe that returns the fuel to the bottom of the tank, these can get a crack in them or fall off completely with vibration and age Paul -

I wonder if it's not leaking out side, is it leaking into the motor? Through the compressor or timing gear ? Paul -

Need to get the chief cook and bottle washer to have a look at your exhaust if you can't see it when starting So it sounds like your loosing fuel completely If it was mine I would pressurize the tank a bit, wind the pressure down on the shop air and have a really good look for leaks It maybe leaking were you can't see it If you block the tank vent off and pressurise it a bit, it should i theory hold air pressure Have a fiddle and report back I'm busy playing with a different type of horse power at the moment Paul
