Car Troubles

We ran into some car troubles today on the way to Connecticut. The number two cylinder high pressure injection line developed a leak at the injector fitting and was spraying fuel all over the engine compartment. I found the local doofus mechanic/wrecker operator and he “fixed” it with a horrible solder job. It lasted all of 10 minutes on the freeway before it started leaking again. We drove the remaining 140 miles to Hartford with fuel spraying all over the place under the hood. Thankfully diesel is less volatile than gasoline.

I hope to find a place to silver solder the line tomorrow so we can get back on the road.
