Ben Abdul Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hello Folks! This is my first post here and consider me fairly noob in Diesel Fuel systems. I have a 2000 Ford Focus Ghia 1.8 TDDI which is a brilliant runner other than a recent problem I noticed. I pulled into my driveway this afternoon and saw white smoke coming from under the hood. I could smell diesel and there was a trail of leakage upto my parking spot as well. I popped the hood, started the car and bam! a fountain of my precious diesel everywhere! It's the fourth injector and the leak off pipe is missing... Now I read a fair bit on the forums about how I can procure myself some of them pipes from Hellf**** but I have no idea where does is go. I see no dangling old pipe or have no clue where that pipe would go from the injector. I don't understand why would it even come off on it's own with my rather low rev and tamed driving :) I understand that it would complete a loop back to fuel system but have no clue how in this specific engine layout. Any photo is very welcome!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Abdul Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ah well... If it benefits anyone, the last injector has a rubber bung that seals off the leak off loop. I figured it out myself and got it from Halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
