Nope, no Teflon tape allowed there. Make sure the fittings are absolutely clean. Even the tiniest bit of dirt will make them leak. On the downside, there may be a microscopic crack in the flare, and pulsing at around 2,200 psig will leak.

The weather hasn't been my friend either.
I wanted to upgrade the Ford starter Bendix to the new enclosed spring style but it's like 1/16″ larger diameter so it won't fit between the flywheel and clutch housing. Waiting for a new “old style” Bendix to arrive. Meanwhile, prepping the cab interior to paint.

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro.
If you are taking pics with your phone you can set the resolution to Low, Medium, or High. Medium should work here.

The foam could be one of two things:
1) An aerated fuel/water mixture.
2) An algae/fuel mixture.
Thankfully this mess was discovered in time before any expensive short term damage was done. Please dose the next three tankful's with a biocide. Those little critters are real tenacious.

Your '79 CAV pump was manufactured prior to the development of LSD and ULSD (currently at around 500 ppm sulfur content), so therefore was very forgiving. Trying anything like that nowadays is analogous to just tearing up $500 bills.

The “Winter blend” you refer to is a blend of #1 and #2 diesel, which both currently have around 500 ppm sulfur. Kerosene does not have the lubricity of sulfur, so therefore isn't used in blending (not to say that some farmers might do it). Kerosene is closer to jet turbine fuel than it is to diesel.
