I have already replaced the factory water trap with a spin on filter base and filter.. It's due for it's routine change however..
I have the 7.3 filter and water sep. combo, however, I have done away with the aluminum base that would thread on and went to a NAPA/Wix one piece replacement, seeing as the "water in fuel" light don't work anyhow.
As I had said, I changed the return check valve on the pump Friday.. I blew through the old one as described, and I would get bubbles when submerging the tip into some liquid (I used a soda bottle cap filled with fuel), therfore making it faulty per the article.
I just came in from wrenching.. I pressurized the fuel tank and depressed the schrader valve a few times until I got fuel and not air. Hit the glow plugs.. truck cranked for 15-30 seconds and started as it usually would (just a lot less cranking as opposed to normal)
I paid CLOSE attention to the smoke tonight, since I was in the shop it was easier to see than when out in the open.. The smoke started a dark grey (nearly black) and faded to lighter and then came nearly invisible.. I'm assuming I pushed the fuel from the injector lines into the cylinder (as it likely usually would) then hit a "lean" spot, then things went to "normal operating conditions" as it pushed what air was in the line through..
I believe somewhere I have a leak still.. I noticed I had a "wet spot" on the Y pipe nearer the passenger side, and a spot on the floor the size of say a silver dollar.. It didn't seem to be oil, nor trans fluid, nor did it smell of fuel.. There was a leak in the valley I corrected the other day however. I tried to trace it, but lose it behind the firewall area.. Tomorrow I plan to look into the o-rings and return fittings.. and the o ring under the nut sounds like a good idea.. I'm also going to put a good eye to the mechanical pump area.. would be nice if it was a touch easier to access..
Before I pulled the 6.9 the truck was a good starter, ever since the engine swap it's just got worse.. and most all of the fuel system stuff I'm looking at now was new then..
