I'm sending four pictures of the top of my engine. Hope they help to find a place where I can tap a hose for the fuel pressure gauge?
I can see the two hoses coming under the manifold to the fuel filter but I will not be able to get to them without taking off the manifold (which I don't want...
Will L. Thanks for your return. The 309 fuel pump that is on the motorhome at this time is the original one that came with it new in 1996. The picture of the one in the box is brand new and got it just in case I needed it when I was traveling.
If your testing group is right about lasting 9 to...
Hi Everybody! I am connecting my house batteries to a solenoid and to an off/on switch that would give my glow plugs more power when starting the engine.
Just a couple more things you should know. My EFI was replaced under warranty 27, 775 miles ago.
Also I replaced my glow plugs with 60G...
Will L + Paveltolz- Quit a bit of information. I'll have to take more time and do a few things you mentioned as soon as I have a little more time. Will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks again!
Thanks for your quick come backs!
Twisted Steel Performance...You mentioned about fuel draining back .... I did put the clear rubber hose looking for bubbles and there were no bubbles after four day and stayed full. Can I assume that would indicate that I have no fuel drain back at this time...
Hi Fellows: It's been a while but still having trouble starting my motorhome. I have a 1996 Safari 6.5L TD engine with 80,000 miles. (attached a picture of motorhome).
When I originally wrote about my problem ......Everyone said to buy 8- A/C Delco 60G glow plugs. I was always told that...
Sorry for the delay. A bronchitis has crept in.
I can see why you're using so much power. Those motors must really draw the power.
Sounds like you've got that figured out to a 'T' and is working fine for you.
Thank you so much for taking your time to help me! I just need a couple more...

Just a question: Why do you need all that power? I see you have a 6.5 and spare generator, parts etc.....what exactly do you have...

Will L.- To answer the question you had on 7-23 -- My IP is a DB2. It was replaced under warranty and now has 23,350 miles on the new pump. I believe the fuel pressure is correct at 12-14psi....as I have no problem starting when engine temperature is up to normal. The problem is the 60G glow...
Will L.: I do have a clear line on the ip return hose....there are no bubbles with the engine running. After stopping there is one bubble at the top of clear hose.
Ran engine for 15 minutes - watching this clear hose - and no bubbles appeared.
Shut off engine. I watched the fuel line and one...

Still trying to get some help with my new engine starting problem!
Here is the tests I did on the "engine start up & testing voltages" (see picture A). They all showed good on voltage.
I also included the Wal-Mart load testing results of the two batteries.

Thanks Will L. and everyone that helped with this project----
Will L- Here is the new flow rate....opening pressure 2175 with 2% spread max.
I received my injectors back from Oregon Fuel Injection and installed them, bled the system, engine started right up with no pop from the tail pipe...
Update Fellows: After speaking to the Bosch Dealer close to home-Premco in Lampasas, Texas....(www.dieselparts.com )... He was more interested in selling me new injectors and then would charge me another $120.00 to check the flow rate.......nice person - sounded like a good place - but I...
