Shorts, maybe a different lubricant would help. We had allot of fitting to do in Julesburg this summer. I found plain old dish washing liquid was about as good as any oil or grease we had access to in the field. I also found putting it in the hose was better than on the barb. If that doesn't work, glycerin is the slickest thing I've ever used. If these don't help please take Scott's advice and reach out to someone local. The last thing you'd want is to not get the hose all the way on the fitting and it blow off.

 

Thanks buddy


I would have loved a swear buddy. I had a real good rant. Haven't had one of those in a while. You might could even call it a tantrum



On the last two fittings I tried some bearing grease. Worked ok, got a hair further but still petered out, though I did get to the third/final barb. Come to think of it I didn't do a focused rinse of the lines, like diesel in and shake it up and pour it out before I hooked them on. I did run some fuel with the cp3 inlet unhooked and dripping into the catch pan to clear any debris in the system. Took the truck for a spin and she ran. Rechecked fittings and no leaks (yet lol). So far so good. I'll leave it until they give me trouble. I didn't get the hoses fully seated though. It was halfway between the final barb and the plastic washer.

If I have to fix them, can I just try seating them all the way down or do I have to cut new lines and start all over?

I feel so beat up. My front delt, bicep, pec, wrist and hand are kinda twitchy. My shoulder, back and legs are drained. Geez, you'd think I never lift a finger for any activity the way working a day in the garage kicks me around.

Waiting on food to cook. Starving!

 

remember, you said it, not me...

 

Goodnight everybody, except FO. I hope you have a terrible night.

 

Goodmorning. It's quiet and empty in here. Well the coffee is on.

 

JET PACK??? MY CRUTCHES DON'T NEED NO JET PACK - - THEY ARE ATTACHED TO ME, MR. MIGHTY MOUSE. GGGGRRRR, HEAR ME ROAR (as I roll down the hill after slipping one crutch on that banana peal)

Here I am trying to stick up for you and I get attacked. I am feeling abused. .....

PLAID??? Something wrong with plaid. I think it looks great on me - - catches more attention so people must love them. .....

See - - this is what I mean. I am trying to get the guys to understand we are dealing with a fragile female here - - back off guys and give her some room - - we can't expect these miracles out of her like we can produce. Show patience and understanding. Be gentle. .....

Morning gang - - no coffee on yet so I did it - - ph00 t00. Enjoy and have a great day - - a nice word of encouragement to Shirts - - uhhh, Shorts would be nice -- show her some LUV. ..........

You know Bob, for an old guy you sure got a lot of young person spunk. I like you.

 

You know what? For a young little whipper snapper, you ain't so bad yourself. I appreciate a "young lady" that is not afraid to get her fingernail polish messed up using a wrench, and better yet, knows what the wrench is even for. Good girl, you sickem. As for the "old guy" stuff, it's all in the eyes of the beholder. My cuz sent me this website that would predict your lifespan based on present age, life style, eating and drinking habits, exercise, family history, etc. It said I will live to 104. ............. Oh my goodness, can you imagine? My grandma lived to 96, so maybe I could make it. Got a lot to get done in these years left AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE SITTING ON MY BUTT ON A CHAIR BECAUSE I WAS A CLUTZ. ............. ...... I am pretty mean on my bike and on a jog and on the tennis court. Oh yeh, forgot - - they all take two legs - - ..........................

Good luck on your project - - hope it holds together. You can come and help me change out the clutch on mine. UGH.

So far the fuel lines are holding together. If not, I got the spare car to hot rod around in

You'll be up and at it soon. Probably even before you get the clearance from the Dr. Before I walked again I had been stuck in a hospital bed at live-in rehab for 3wks. I was told not to get out of bed without calling the nurse... I'm sure you can guess what I did

 

afternooner! snowed all day, no stick unless way up on the mountains, guess if it is here, I am ready.

son walked to work yesterday, found internal broken battery cable. did breakfast. home to stain an oak door, carve on tree, figure out where inside the barn I can put the tree to start detailing it. yay! sitting in recliner yay!

Shorts: aw girl, hot bubble bath to ya! walk around the block? M to the ninth power! heheh
