fuel leak at connector to fuel rail

Post by raa1144 »

i have a bad leak where the rubber fuel line connects to the injector rail. Is there a repair kit or do I need a new fuel line and where can I get it.
Thanks

It's possible to get new Viton O-rings and put new O-rings in the quick-connect. You'll need 2 O-rings of the right size, an O-ring pick, and some patience fishing the new ones in.

The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask.

It depends if the rail is damaged, or the quick connect is damaged. Much easier to repair a damaged quick connect than a damaged fuel rail.
