My first and only experience wasn't uncomfortable until the ride home. The pervasive mist of diesel fuel from the cracked fuel line got to be a bit much.:))

none of my Jeeps, Mazda, S10's, Aveo, or cab over diesel box trucks ever complained...

the CJ6 was asphyxiating from blow by, but he is getting rebuilt
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

We had an out of balance front tire for my whole ride. And that overdrive made a noise like nothing else I've heard. Don't get me wrong... it was awesome

You just show up Friday, strap down, and we roll in the quiet serene luxury of Dumpbus

Injectors are the only sold part not yet pulled.

the power boards fry, I think. old ones were a PCB in a shrink tube that wasn't sealed, didn't surprise me. New ones are potted in epoxy. I haven't checked wiring yet. IDK what voltage they run at, probably 1-2.

I just unhooked the opposite side last time. was fine.

anyone have an in-line fuel pump laying about that I could use?

I've got a bunch of fuel to move out of the dumpbus into a waiting tank at points in the future, and it sure would be easier to pump it than drain/siphon 5 gallons at a time.
