have you checked the return port on the pump?  sounds like it is either plugged or your having back flow problems of some sort.  Hayden

Even used some from the rabbit truck. Finally I ordered 8 feet from Parts Place as I don't know any others that sell that size line. I installed new-same issue. By the end-I had zip tied 3 connections. Any tips as to why I would suddenly need to do that after about 4 years of no issues? Would the injectors be failing dumping more fuel into the return lines pressurizing them more. It isn't the last one in the line. It is both lines on the 2nd from the tranny side and the 2nd to the 3rd connection as well. I can see all the lines move as they pressurize when at high RPM a lot it seems. But the same ones were leaking the whole time.

"We're going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that have allowed some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. They sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying 10% of his salary – and that's crazy. Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the busdriver?  Ronald Reagan
