ok i have been having some problems with fuel in my oil ( i think ) is there any more signs that might point to one being out of date , such as loss of performance , on block leakage. but i dont have a fuel pressure gauge so that wouldnt really help.

lets just say i dont want to pay money to fix something thats not broke

Why do you think you have fuel in the oil? What are the symptoms?

JP.

Hard starting, poor performance, oil smells like fuel, big stain on the side of the engine under the pump. Any of that sound like your truck?

ok i have a bad leak in my turbo (need to fix) and for a while i had a bad leak on the valve covers till i changed the gaskets, but when i changed it, i refilled with 3 gallons, and it was in the middle of the safe mark on the dipstick, now leaks and less then 800 miles later i have maraculusly gained a quart to put it at the top of the safe mark, and the oil seems more runny, and smells different

gomerpile

starts a little slower than normal, performance is in and out (one hour i can hardly go across a street, then shut it off for an hour get back in and i look over and see the rear end beside me if ya know what i mean), and of course a bid stain on the side all around it

wannadiesel

Sounds like you should throw a lift pump at it.

gomerpile

wheres the cheapest place to get one, around here its like $70-75, and thats for a Master built pump. the only place i found was peirs but i cant wait that long for delivery. have work to do and also if i call up there next thing i know this week and next weeks paycheck will be spent and i will have like half a UPS truck at my porch

That's the best deal I've found.

Wow, that is cheap... at that price its possible to have an extra, (just as long as one has the older fuel line after an upgrade. This must be a diaphragm style.

wannadiesel

Yes, it's a diaphragm pump made by Delphi (formerly known as AC Delco).

gomerpile

so would one for $7x.xx be something other than diaphram

tomd

I bet it is the same part... but yes, at that price of $7x.xx chances are it is a diaphram.

piston lift pump upgrades are near 200 bucks.

gomerpile

well just changed the pump and the oil, the oil pressure came up pretty far, and im now able to smoke a little dodge neon with "cowl hood" and fart can, yeah i got the pep back , glad to see it

wannadiesel

I hope you changed the oil?

gomerpile

yeah i did, put 15w-40 rotella in it
