Fuel leak

[andy_coops]

Strong fuel smell on the way home tonight and coughed when I started from cold. Had a root around and found this....
At least I found the leak; question is how the hell do I fix it? Help!
TIA

may have just worked itself lose, highly doubt that though, there is a little o-ring inside that may be damaged, its a special O-ring, fuel resistant etc so you cant just lob any generic thing in there... or it may be time to replace the fuel lines and do away with them quick release plugs... which often... are not very quick to release :tongueout:

Thanks. So does the below work as a replacement then? Looks like the end onto the fuel rail could be a b**ch!

they should be easy to unplug, jut squeeze the ring on each side and pull and wiggle... the fun part is getting the end off the hose and putting a new one on...

They are quite difficult to seal, well mine was anyway.. when I started the engine it was properly spraying out, so just ensure it's down all the way

Lubricate the o-ring before you put it back in. A bit of oil or wd40 will do, just so it doesn't nip the seal as it goes back in.

Thanks chaps. New connector ordered from KTec as couldn't find anywhere else. I have help to fit also - polishing's my thing, not anything mechanical
