Fuel System Leaks

[dsmith658]

I bought a JPC fuel system which has been doing pretty good for me for about 3k miles. I have been developing leaks at the push lock fittings however after that time. 3/4 fuel rails fittings are leaking with 2 of the 10AN fittings moving to the back of the car. It's leaking where the hose pushes onto the fitting.

JPC told me not to put clamps on these. You guys think there is a problem with my hose or fittings or do you think I just need to get some clamps? Also what clamps should I get?

How about posting some pics of the fittings you have.

These are the two leaky fittings.

Time to upgrade to some proper fittings

In a pinch I would put a gear clamp on that.

I would never use push lock hose ends on the pressure side of a high power efi return system, regardless of what its said to be rated for. That style fragola line also "moves" a lot through temperature changes.

If your temp fixing with clamps, get some 3/8" stainless steel fuel injection hose clamps.
