Title: fuel line leak Post by: Dave_EH on August 29, 2005, 08:04:48 AM Hi,
I've just connected up fuel to my motor and started it for the first time since new head, new fuel pump etc. It is a red motor with a glass bowl pump and is leaking fuel where the steel line flare on the outlet side goes into a brass 45 degree adaptor. Should there be a washer inside the brass adaptor where the flare meets the seat of the adaptor to seal? It leaks a lot of fuel when starting prior to fire up (i.e. when the fuel pump is turning and the engine is not running) Cheers Dave Title: Re: fuel line leak Post by: fc_1958 on August 29, 2005, 08:33:02 AM Dave
No there is no washer, brass to steel fit. If its leaking out of the thread it's cross threaded otherwise try the following - You say it is a new fuel pump - replace the brass adaptor from the old pump,this will give you the original seal, if it still leaks then the flare on the fuel line is damaged.
