    Truck is putting oil in fuel. O-rings on injectors or injectors? Is there any way to have injectors tested? I called my local injection shop and they don't do them and could not recommend any where that did.

    It's usually the injector orings. The middle oring gives way and pumps high pressure oil into fuel rail. I haven't seen an internal failure cause this problem. Start pulling injectors and one will have a cut oring.

    Thanks. That was my plan. Pull the injectors, look at the orings, and go from there. I always like to give my customers worst case scenario as well as best case.
