Ill try tightening the connection see if that works. Thnx jjimbo7592. Is it costly to repair?
i think that style has o-rings if it does replace them
it has an o ring i just did one today a regular o ring will get devoured by the fuel buy a fuel line repair kit dorman 800- 153 and the kit should have an oring in it and save the rest for when the fitting goes and u have to replace it
OR YOU COULD JUST GET A BUNNA -N OR A VITON O-RING FROM ACE HARDWARE OR A WELDING SUPPLY STORE . VITON IS THE BEST RUBBER MATERIAL FOR THIS APPLICATION . YOU CAN TELL IF IT'S VITON RUBBER , IT WILL BE REDDISH ORANGE IN COLOR . MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT THICKNESS AS WELL AS THE RIGHT DIAMETER .... PBN
The connections on he fuel filter are threaded line connections.There isn't an "O"ring .If you have a fine stream.You have a pin hole.
