Hey Matt I have a ford f350 with a 7.3 and have a hater for a neighbor he put something in my fuel tank is it possible to back flush an engine? I have installed a driven diesel return system if that helps?
@matthewweum30123 күн бұрын
What do you think he put in there? Generally older fuel systems can be more resilient to contaminants. That all depends on what the contaminant is. There’s a lot of finely machined parts in injectors that can be damaged when certain contaminants are introduced.

Thanks for the video. I put the DEF into my truck, The two lines are right by each other. I had this Karen flipping out at me for doing it in the parking lot. I did not spill anything. Stupid me watching him because he a nut job & not paying attention to what I was doing .I put it into my fuel tank. I drove a half a mile & my truck still said 90 miles to empty. of my DEF. When I got out is when I realized what I did, How did your friend do with his RV. after driving it
