My understanding was that you had a 4 cylinder Perkins engine?
40107/4-108?? If so then you have a CV fuel injection system which
uses solid copper washers under banjo fittings.

Which can be reused, if you just re-anneal them....

I'm sure I once knew,. but., being afflicted with CRS, don't recall.

How do I do that, again?

Thanks for the tip, if I get that desperate...

Meanwhile, we've been intentionally stressing the battery to pull it down
today. After our movie, we were down to 11.7 volts and about 275AH down.

Started right up. Immediate shutdown, switch to the new - disappointingly,
much smaller footprint, a lot lighter but 1000CCA vs the prior 875 start
battery we used to have but, indeed, had never used independently - and it
cranked lots faster, despite, having sat for hoonose how long, only 12.1V
showing; of course, it started right up, as well. This with all the useful
background loads, of course, so it prolly was higher if disconnected.

So, we're declaring victory and going home, so to speak. The only real
remaining tests will be to let it sit for an extended period of time and see
if it's slower to start due to the presumed depressurization of the #1
injector (that's the banjo in question). In the meantime, I'll explore
other opportunities for locally sourced proper crush washers.

L8R, y'll!

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in

you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
