Burlington Kwik Trip "south" ULSD, marked as non winterized diesel. IQ was measured as 4.8, and then I took apart the leaking injector pump to replace three seals. There was a loss of diesel fuel as a result. After assembly, one of the return lines from one of the injectors had a spot where it leaked all over. IQ was reset to 4.2 after assembly.
