Is that a diagram of the whole fuel system?

The amount of fuel I am using it seems there should be a huge leak somewhere. Or maybe the gauge is wacko?? The trip odometer is working off and on. Not sure if the fuel gauge and trip odo are related

I have so many other leaks it is hard to pinpoint just where the road spots are coming from. I replaced the power steering return line today also...so maybe that will at least stop that leak
For the most part, missing is the metal "rack" that goes from the Injection Pump to the injectors themselves.
You may want to clean the engine as best you can and then try to determine where any leaks are coming from.
If you're going through that much fuel, your biggest leak should be obvious, or as mentioned, a faulty gauge.
