Nope. There are lots of other mfgr. of injection pumps bedsides Bosch. Roosa Master (stanadyne) as you mentioned Kiki (Bosch Licensee) CAV Lucas Caterpillar and countless others of smaller proportion in the US. You shoulda been able to find the line at Frod or Shovey dealerships if their truck

Alex, Where you live is exactly where I was when the hoses went (north Vancouver), but I didn't think of that! I went to Diesel Fuel Injection Services in north Portland. My fuel economy increased by 5mpg with new injector return lines (27mpg on the way up to Portland, 32mpg on the way back

Doesn't nearly everything use Bosch though? Maybe I've had an un-realistic sample, but ALL of the non-mercedes diesel vehicles I've owned used the same line: -a 4 cylinder heavy duty/industrial diesel boat engine (Diesel KIKI injection system) -2 Chevy 6.2 suburbans (Standyne injection system

Yep, but I had a 1,000 mile drive the next day, and didn't want to pour 50 gallons of diesel fuel onto the freeway during the drive home so an online order wasn't an option. Also, the hose on Rusty's site lacks length information. For all I know, that's the price per inch! Tyler Bob Rentfro

Most other Diesels (non Bosch) still use steel return lines, as in the OM 621 and OM 636 Mercedes engines. Because of this, the fuel return line is mainly used on automotive diesels made in Germany and Japan and a few small Japanese tractor and industrial engines. At 01:13 PM 4/27/2009, you w

Ernest, What car do you have running biodiesel on the original hoses, and how long have you been running it? It seems like even regular diesel fuel dissolves fuel lines on a regular basis, so it's hard to tell which leaks are caused by Bio, and which would have occurred anyways. I have howev

hi Larry! wish i could see this article; it seems the confusion and misinformation related to "Grease", Waste Veggie Oil (WVO) and BioDiesel as perpetuated by bad reporting continues,... nothing runs on "Grease"; it simply doesn't flow at ambient temperatures in most parts of the world

Anyone who burns wvo or makes BioD is subject to state and federal road tax if they use any of it on the highway. There are no exemptions I am aware of for minor users. There have been quite a few people busted for not paying taxes. Same scenario 200+ years ago that caused the whiskey rebel

I read this today in a parts industry magazine I get - they talk about laws in Cal to prevent (or at least fine) people converting from diesel to grease! Like a License to be a "diesel fuel supplier" and report gallons used and pay taxes on them. Additionally, the "Meat & Poultry Inspecti
