    Clogged IP return valve

    Got it. Picture 4-155 6.2 diesel manual. I had it, but paranoia had set in after a tough 10 day stretch of fuel system frustration on this truck. Nothing but fuel in the top of the pump, and even broke the factory seal on the one screw on the top cover.

    Clogged IP return valve

    OK, sorry in advance for asking, I can't find the post that tells me.... When you pull the top off the IP and put it back on, do you put it on toward the radiator and push it backwards then put the bolts in? I really don't want a smoking heap in my barnyard. That's what I did and I'm afraid to...

    Clogged IP return valve

    Kind of that color, but very fine and powdery. When the truck acted up, I had almost filled the tank. After, I drained the tank and refilled with different (new) fuel. Also a new filter. Generally I drive it once a week, but no clue how much it sat around before..... I'll take the top off...

    Clogged IP return valve

    Clogged IP return valve

    Update on mine--- I cleaned my return valve and blew air through the return line, that valve was stuck pretty bad. Truck rolls down the road nicely now, no trace of that smoke and idles smooth. I'm going to drive it and see how it goes. Good luck with yours!!!

    Clogged IP return valve

    Dude, all of a sudden mine is acting up too. I changed filter, drained and refilled tank with new, different fuel, I'm going to look at the return lines tomorrow. But I think my flex ring in the IP went south. Side note, I did dose it up fairly heavy with TC-W3 and some Mobil-1, the fuel was...
