Infrequent fuel leak

Post by azu »

It is leaking at the quick connect feeding the fuel rail (In coming fuel). Only leaks maybe once every week or two but enough for concern. My question is:

Are the clips a one time use or are they a part of the hose and must be replaced as a whole unit?

The clips are reuseable. I think there's an O ring in the hose that can be replaced. I'll go check the FSM.

Hey I had that same issue about a month ago; yea there is a small o-ring in there and mine was smashed up pretty bad causing a pool of gas on the manifold. I freaked when I saw it; I was not lookin for any engine fire to break out!

The only place I know of is to buy a replacement end for the fuel line (I know Oreilly's sells them, maybe Napa too?) and you can either replace the whole end section or rob the o-rings from the new end and just replace the o-rings. Replacing the end section usually involves warming a plastic fuel line and forcing it over a barbed fitting and it can get tricky.
