Re: Fuel line leak.. Posted by PaulS [Email] (#676) [Profile/Gallery] (more from PaulS) on Tue, 11 Oct 2022 19:07:28 In Reply to: Re: Fuel line leak.., Goblin [Profile/Gallery] , Mon, 10 Oct 2022 13:45:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The connection of the hard plastic line to the fuel rail was leaking. I cut off the leaking part (about 3/4 inch). I heated the metal nipple with a heat gun and slipped the fuel line over the nipple. The heat was enough to allow the line to go on the nipple and when it was cooled it tightened and did not leak. There was enough slack that I did not need additional line so I did not need the quick connect.
Obviously when combining heat and fuel one needs to be careful and have a fire extinguisher close by.
