Big change in my life...
You get a plastic bag of that says patient belongings? Those little plastic tubs your supposed to wash your face in or whatever... those are just great for putting old filters in when you change them. Most places just throw him out because they don't want to take any chance on MRSA in a hospital. Beyond that....get well

VIDEO Low boost/irregular fuel pressure/no smoke
Mine leaked, end result was I finally found another tank. That was after finally coming to grips with reality that a patch job will always be a patch job. Never knew for sure or when a patch job would fail. I talked with fass folks, bean folks and couple o ring makers. Help desk with jb weld (who have heard about everything). And looking online for "o- rings with lips" If another tank is what you end up doing, you are not limited to our diesels and year. Pull up the parts look up file on this site and see what will interchange with what you have. Silicone not recommended in my opinion. I had to give a hundred bill and remove tank from donor vehicle in my case, but dodge stuff hard to find near me. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/part-number-lookup-tool-2nd-gen-24v/

Big change in my life...
Last week jumping internet saw some of your posts from 06 era. So far I think there about 5 forums relevant today. I suppose I'm like many that started at CF (I think because of name) then find better places such as yours. I'm slowly going thru TDR magazines from 02 to 2019. That's 17 years. Some issues I've only saved couple paragraphs.

Big change in my life...
Just typing hear for what's worth and what has helped us. Wife with 3 cancer operations and now with brain tumor for last 2 yrs. Dr appointments usually 2 or 3 times a week. 1. Your blood work, not only keep a record of it. But understand what they are testing for and keep track of your numbers. 2. Med's...try to keep enough on hand for back up. 3 times now there has been a national shortage on 1 type she needs. Had to call around to different places to get. Pharmacy's at retail chains...give the actual NDC number as it's easy to get names of meds screwed up. 3. There is always somebody in worse shape. We went to a meeting with other people with brain tumors. (Wife cant control her right side of arm or leg) We thought we had it bad until we saw people that had no feeling in there face. Tongues bit off, because no feeling when they bit into it. There is always someone worse off. Keep the faith, whatever you believe in.

can i use v10 tank on 12v?
The parts lookup manual on this site here would benefit you greatly. Not sure where it is on this site but it came in very handy for me when getting a new to me tank for my 01. I ended up I think with a 96 tank and the threads were a little bit different at the top for the gas cap and I believe it was a vented or non-vented had to change the fuel cap. The fuel modules interchange pretty easily, as far as threads at the top. The actual size of the draw straw might make a big difference so I just put a bulkhead fitting in, 1/2 inch I believe. A fuel module in the parts lookup tool is chapter 14, if I remember right.

Possible head gasket leak
Sounds like a very good test ... so how would a person do this and how much psi with water or air? I think my local Cut Rate Auto Parts store ( O'Reilly's) has a loaner cooling system tester, would that be the right way to do it?

DYI- what do you do yourself vs have done?
I have a 01, different generation than yours. Initially bought it because they're supposed to be so darn good. Never broke down I thought to myself why should I take the time to even learn how to fix them. I changed my own oil, wrote in maintenance book the miles so I knew when to change it again. That was about it. From 2005 to 2016. Then Broke down with a bad Fass lift pump after all said and done after Towing lift pumps etx. And we were 2,500 miles away from home, couldn't do anything myself because we're in an RV park even though I was able to look up what I needed and read step by step instructions, I couldn't do the work myself in the RV park. Cost for repairs ended up costing us just shy of $3,000 That was when I started paying extra close attention and started doing everything myself. I can't say that I enjoy getting my hands greasy but after paying that kind of money and having a subpar job and the repairs fell apart and had to be redone twice. So now if I don't know how to do something (which is alot) I figure it out either through the to the service manuals that are available for download or the web. So much better peace of mind for me if I fix something and it falls apart that's on me but to pay a shop a hundred bucks an hour for whatever their shop rate is and they screw it up that's a little bit irritating

Cylinder pressure
Since 05 or 06. Always worked well other than that bolt falling out as mentioned above. But for other reasons I am never going to buy any BD product again.

Cylinder pressure
I lost one of the plug bolts coming down the siskiyous towing wives trailer. I burned a hole about the size of a silver dollar what's above the hole. Scared me and my wife half a death as it made a hell of a noise. BD recommended some type of "security" wire, so the plug bolts wouldn't come out again. After looking for "stainless steel dowling" about half a day. Finaly brain engaged. At bicycle shop picked up some "stainless steel dowling". Better known as a bicycle spoke.

1/2 vulcan draw straw 3
If you want the straw out of your fuel module,ie basket...have thought about replacing your straw with something. Lots of modern plastics are compatible with diesel and somewhat flexable. https://www.coleparmer.com/chemical-resistance

30k miles on fuel filters
I change mine once a year ( I don't drive very many miles) I'm wondering if I should just change my mine when I see that fuel pressure gauge go down a little bit? In other words use a fuel pressure gauge is an indicator when my filters are getting shot.
