i have a 58 major that has been sucking air from some place in the fuel system. It has been very cold here of late. Could the fuel filter mounting assembley be cracked? Or is it more likely that i am drawing air from some place else? I have beld the system several times, changed the fuel filter and it still seems to be drawing air some place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only place it can draw air in is the pipe from the tank to the lift pump. All the other side of the system is pressurised and diesel would leak out when she is running.

I would check the pipe from the tank and possibly remove the fuel tap and check the filter for blockage. The seal on the glass bowl around the fuel pump can also leak but again you should see a diesel leak.

I have seen injectors jam open and pressurise the whole fuel system but innearly 50 years I have only seen that twice. The engine will only run for a few minutes and the system will be under very high pressure when you attempt to bleed.

Hope this helps.
