Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 Plenty of people replace the check valves and call it good and 18 months later the problem reappears If you have leak in the return to tank line, it only takes a check valve to not fully seat once and bingo, the problem returns The return to tank side is just as important as the delivery side of things I have had people on the forum give me a really hard time for saying things like this, I guess because they don't want to understand and can't be taught from a Skippy the bus kangaroo from down under Paul 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/97/#findComment-593525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Sadly Joey our Australian language is slowly going and becoming more worldly Probably the same for many parts of the world We would of used Bonza, Beauty or Ripper not so long ago To be a Ocker Aussie as we were once called was according to Wikipedia "Ocker" refers to an uncultivated, boorish, or aggressively casual Australian man, often characterized by a thick accent (Strine), love for beer, and laid-back attitude. It describes someone who is stereotypical in their "Aussieness," often associated with being loud, friendly, and unrefined, originating from a 1960s TV character. What ever that means Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/97/#findComment-593531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 Well Paul.. I dont like when cultures lose their cultures...

Popular Post mowerman Posted March 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 27 Well, I put all the new lines on everything fits good and nothing leaking. Started the truck. Let it run about 15 minutes but now the return line hits the clutch pedal rod because they’re a little thicker now I’ll have to pull that nipple out of the fuel tank and put in something else. Hopefully it does not snap off that’s about all I did for today in between honeydews ha ha 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/97/#findComment-593742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Monday at 08:33 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:33 PM Forgot to mention after new lines the white smoke seems to have vanished or atleast lightened up considerably seems it only poofs out a little bit at idle Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/97/#findComment-593924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:14 PM White smoke generally means air in the fuel So if it was getting air in through the leaky line back to the tank and the leak has been fixed, it would make sense it smokes less now Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/97/#findComment-593927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess the shoe does kinda fit 🤣 I did wash the Zinamobile yesterday, it was covered in pollen. Now it's covered in pollen again. Drilled a couple of holes in the carport and installed a couple of screws in the holes. That's some tough stuff to drill, even using a drill bit. They must have used a higher quality screw when they put it up than I got at the hardware store because they zapped them right in. Now the grass needs mowing again too. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
