Fuel line seeping

[Wolf302]

Has anyone had issues with the fuel line connector to the fuel rail seeping? Any success repairing it?
I cleaned mine to get a better idea of where exactly it’s coming from but it seems to be seeping from the connector itself and as far as I know the entire line is a discontinued part. Thought I might be able to swap o-rings but they’re pretty recessed in the fitting.

I need the same line and ford discontinued the part . did you ever figure out how to stop the leaking ?

It sounds like you'll need to improvise a solution. I suggest you cut away the section with the plastic connector, fill the gap with a short section of metal pipe (as a female connection) on the left where there's rubber pipe, and add a short section of rubber pipe (rated for fuel systems) to bridge the metal pipes (as a male connection), securing them all together with hose clamps (double clamp each joint for extra safety).

Not sure where you are located. See if there is a Hydraulic hose repair facility near you. They might be able to replace the leaking end for you.

had this happen to me. I leaned a little bit on that fitting, didn't realize it was there and broke the line. You can buy a new quick fitting for the fuel line at an auto parts store. Just cut the old one off and insert the new one.

Or, if it is only an O-ring, buy a new connector and transfer the o-rings. This connector can be disassembled. (At least this types I have in mind)

There's plenty of aftermarket options out there for fuel line retrofits, you may get lucky with a female connector like in this kit I posted as an example or do as Dino stated.
