leaking injector on my M1009 ?

[rfischba1]

I stopped by Fort Meade to take a close look at my New M1009 I won last week, Took lots of close up photos I will attach tomorrow.
I started the truck, ran fine, 1/2 tank of fuel. I noticed a fuel leak comming from the injector that goes into the # 1 cilinder on the left side. What does this mean? There is a small black hose attched to the injector, this may be the cause of the leak.
My question, is there something that I should check, tighten, replace this hose? Its a fairly steady stream of fuel dripping. Could I drive the truck 6 miles home with this leak?
Thanks

The small rubber hose is the fuel return line, best to replace it if it's leaking. I wouldn't drive it with a fuel leak in that area since it over the exhaust manifold! (unless you like BBQ M1009!

Got it, any source for that rubber return line? NAPA???

Just get any generic rubber line that size and cut it.

NAPA does sell a kit with all of the lines and little clamps to hold them on.

you cant use the generic rubber line, you can get a kit to replace the return lines, ebay is a cheap place to find it, or a diesel engine shop. The original lines are self shrinking, you just push them on and they seal, no clamps needed.

You can get them (injector return line) at a GM dealership, I bought some in March for my 1009.
