Fuel pump still leaking
Well I replaced my leaky fuel pump but now where the hard line goes into the pump is still leaking. It tight but still leaks. Has anyone dealt with this problem? Getting frustrated and very smelly. HELP

Re: Fuel pump still leaking
Yeah, I went thru this, I cant remember how I got it to seal up. Is it a pre flared joint or did you do it?..
I just kept loosening, tightening and finally got it to seal, I even tried a new fuel pump and a new hard line!

Re: Fuel pump still leaking

Re: Fuel pump still leaking
vettevet It leaked real bad with the hard line so I cut it and ran a rubber hose half way down to the fuel pump with a new 90 degree fitting, but still leaks but not as bad.
rudy thanks for warning. |

Re: Fuel pump still leaking
Have you checked the line itself for a crack in the flare. I take it that it's on the carb side.

Re: Fuel pump still leaking
On my friends truck we had the same problem comeing out the fuel pressure regulator. We tried teflon pipe dope and teflon tape. Still leaked. Then our millwright friend put on on a layer of dope, then tape, then more dope. The thing sealed!!!
