Hi there ....
It looks like there are diesel leaking out of the "fuel return block", I have to prime my diesel filter every morning, else the Jeep just dies after 5 seconds of idling ... it looks like it's leaking diesel out of the fuel return block somewhere ... I guess the only place where it can leak, is where the fuel hoses are plugged into it? ... is this a common problem? ... at least it looks like I will be able to buy seals and o-rings seperately for the hose connectors?

I snapped the little nipple on top when I replace the EGR. I tried to reattach it with epoxy but it leaked. I can't imagine it would leak all on it's own without some external force influencing it.

Brass Barbed hose fittings will work great, better than plastic.
