I called Geno's to order new seals for mine, that is what I was told. I may be mistaken it may of been 03. Of course my age and absent mind I may of dreamed it.

Question, the banjo bolt on the back of the head 2002 dodge changed this to one with a one way value,. Was this to help with the fuel leaking back with truck sitting nose up hill?

Any fuel leaks, behind the head, the T fitting or the O ring on the fuel filter? Just went through this it was a pain, wish you well.

Wasn't really that hard to do,. I welded up a bracket to mount the pump. I have a backhoe to lift the bed,. I also have a fifth wheel so had to remove the bolts that holds it to the frame. Will post a pic if it ever stops raining.

I replaced the return with 3/8 rubber hose, the feed with 1/2 in rubber hose mounted my DDRP to the frame in front of the fuel tank

Mine went out the shaft came out of the spider gear,. I got a rebuild kit from US gear in Jackson mo and it contained everything except the chain. They are not hard to rebuild at all , just take your time getting the pump to line up was the biggest problem and even that was nothing but a little time and patience.

Just to follow up with this I just replaced the fuel lines and mounted the lift pump on the frame. Not 100% sure but I think the hard fuel line on the return from the banjo fitting had a small crack under the protective hose going down to the frame,. There was a clamp on the bottom of it after I put air pressure on it the hose was full of fuel. I replaced everything and now it starts with the front on the shale pile at a 45 deg angel. The leak was so small I don't know for sure if that was the case or not, thank the good Lord it is working great now,. Thank everyone who helped me on this site.

I appreciate all the replies on this, I won't get to work on it for awhile. I will relocate my pump to the frame. Hopefully I can get it back before spring.

That is the return from the T fitting my DDRP don't have a return

The original have been replaced with the drawstraw there are2 returns one is plugged because I have a DDRP fass. They both return to the top of the tank I realize the hose is loose, only to keep rain out

The hole beside the white suction tube is where the fuel returns

I will get one tomorrow

Does the fuel return line dump fuel to the top of the fuel module, or is there supposed to be a line to the bottom of the module? (Vulcan draw straw)

Got the bed off today, have physical therapy tomorrow. Hope to get back on it this weekend weather permitting.

I will definitely check that out, thanks

I have a FASS DDRP, won't be able to look at it for a few days hopefully this rain will stop

Filled the tank nose up hill and it still has the starting problem. Notlimah what are my possible options, this is all new to me.

I parked facing down hill, it starts instantly. If I remove the fuel lines at the tank how much pressure would I be safe with applying to the lines back to the engine?

I can't answer that for sure. Been a long time since I did this, I do remember modified the basket I had too drill holes in the side wall my output and return both hook to the drawstraw.

Yes I have a drawstraw for around 10 years nowadays

I just checked the fuel cap. I clamped the fuel line between my pre filter and the fuel tank, let it sit with nose up hill. Went back later and it fires right up. I will pull the bed off again if it ever stops raining. Will update on the outcome. Thanks everyone.

My truck is hard to start after sitting even for a short time. I have replaced the washers on the banjo fitting back of the head, the seals on the T fitting, and the fuel line to the tank. I just pressurized the tank with air there are no leaks I can find anywhere. It has new injectors and new crossover tube O rings.still has the same problem. No fuel in the oil. Any suggestions from the experts?

Thanks for the input guys,. I went to the dealership and go a regulator that was made in America. They told me the $12.00 regulator is not for the diesel because of the high amp alternator. I moved the regulator from the firewall to the fender well away from the heat of the exhaust manifold, which with the hood closed is about 3 inches away. It seems to be working fine now. It does have a two year warranty now which is a good thing.

I made mine from sc-80 steam pipe, got tired of the expensive ones rusting out

I have checked all cables, and ran aground from the battery to the case, I will have the alternator checked. Its simple the way it works but a regulator ever couple months is getting old. Thanks for the reply I will have the alternator checked.
