I've got a 1995 prison bus to RV conversion with a DT466 engine. Right now the bus won't start, it turns over but never starts. Looking around under the hood and I was able to find 2 hoses that are dripping diesel after cranking the engine.
Now's where me being a complete newbie with engine maintenance comes into play. I've never replaced a fuel line, and am not entirely sure where to start. The 2 hoses are about 6 inch rubber sections with yellow plastic ends, connected to metal lines on either side. I'm attaching pictures of the hoses.
Could anyone help point me in the right direction? I tried unscrewing the yellow plastic part a little but it seemed to just turn in place. Did I not unscrew enough, or is there some other trick for disconnecting it? Is there a specific name for this section of fuel line? What part would I look for to get a replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
