dianadiesel Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hello! This forum has helped me so many times that I don't know what I would do without it! I have been searching around and am not able to find the answer so I hope someone can give me some advice... I had to replace my starter which as most of you know is not an easy or quick job. Well, after putting everything back I noticed that my fuel bar is leaking. What can I do here? I heard somewhere that it can be remounted with some sort of product in a tube to stop the leak. I know silicone can't be used b/c obviously the gasoline eats at it. Can anyone HELP?? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Did you use new gaskets on the fuel pipe union joints? The manual states the gaskets are not reuseable, however I have not had to do this job (thankfully, it looks involved) so I don't know what the gaskets are made off. Some crushable ones will leak when reused even when you have done the connection up tight. I don't think a gunk fix is a good idea other than for a temporary "get it home" scenario. I hope you get to the cause soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianadiesel Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Okay figured it out today. It was the o rings. Replaced those and she's back up and running! Thanks for you help. What a terrible place to put the starter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
