Subject:Replacing Fuel Hose
From:BJ Feddish
Date:Wed, 4 Apr 2007 13:18:45 -0400

The only major problem my van has ever had is leaking fuel. It's the only
thing that has caused my van to be towed once in the 10 years I've owned it.
Today I have another leak. Once again it's leaking at the fuel rail for the
injectors which is where it happens most often after the pressure regulator.
I removed the hose (none of my hoses are more than 2 years old) and I
putting in a new one. My first question is what's the best way to get that
hose all the way onto that fuel rail? It's about half way on and I feel that
more pressure or twisting will break that piece of plastic off.

Second, why do I keep getting leaks? I keep putting on new hoses and clamps
and I still get them all the time.

Thanks,
Bryan
