Thanks for the advice all. I got the timing set-much easier this way :D Tried to crank a few times, but my battery was about dead. Also noticed some bubbles in the Tygon fuel line I replaced the Urethane one with. It seems to have "loosened" around the barbs with moving it around. Did get ...

Did a search and got a few ideas but will try to be more model specific. Apologize if this counts as "stupid question" but apparently I qualify. 1st diesel I've ever worked with, sat for 12 years but I got it to start and run halfway decent. Replaced all the leaking fuel lines and of cours...

Again, thanks for the help. Will be out of town so will try tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick replies! Should have added a bit more information, the U clip nut and the union is stuck hard and fast.

Apparently I'm about a minute too slow

I found a site with at least a bit more info than the DSE has posted in their "FAQ" section:

Comparision and Contrast with Biodiesel-goes over the selling points.

Wondered about the pressure, thanks for the info!

Probably a stupid question, but hey-there are none right? Read the "conversion process" for biodiesel and saw the easy way to replace the lines. My question is what do you use for a "cap" on the 1st (or last-can't remember) injector return to seal it? Or is it safe from breakdown?
