FASS push lock leak
 

Title says it all- 2 push lock fittings are leaking with FASS 150- one at sump and the other is where the return line comes out of the pump- any ideas on how to stop these? Not spewing but enough to leave marks in the driveway I just washed - Yes the hose is pushed all the way to the yellow plastic at the end of the fitting. I read hose clamps are a no no- gray permatex RTV?

Do the hose clamps! Not super tight! Snug and half a turn!

I'll give it a shot- they are sending different fittings but I really don't want to back out the fittings since they aren't leaking at the threads and need to drain tank for the sump fitting!

i put hose clamps on mine, just made them snug so the push lock fitting didnt cut the hose.

Have em clamped- time will tell haven't run it- this morning when I got in my truck fired right up but gas gauge was flat lined and fuel light on- I noticed the harness was not "clicked" all the way in- I tried to get it seated (room for one hand only) and couldn't- is the fuel gauge controlled by the plug Ontop of the stock canister or the other one? I'll have to Lower tank now to get that seated ugh

Lowered tank cleaned and messed and repositioned wires and randomly after checking 6 times fuel gauge magically works- clamps have slowed down leaks enough not to drip on driveway yet but still seeping- another 1/4 turn on the clamps?

you can try that, but i really dont know how tight they are already. you just dont want the push lock to cut the hose.

1/4 turns seem to be working. I think I was a little on the loose side since I was afraid of tearing it. I have clamps on my sump at the base (no longer leaking), at pump inlet (no longer leaking), return from pump (slower), then the inlet going to CP3 started leaking at pushlock. None are at the threads- I'm not happy with these fittings!

i never had any issues with mine

Replaced 2 push locks with NEW fittings from Fass and still leaking slightly in that same spots (after pump going to cp3 and at return exit on pump- I'm pretty frustrated at this point and going to buy reg fittings so I can just double clamp em and call it a day. The hose I believe came with my kit isn't diesel rated if it's the same as the link below? "Python Plus" blue hose. Link below saying not diesel rated-What hose are you running?

the jiffy tube (blue hose) that came with my fass is not made for diesel, it works, its just not made for it. this what an employee at a tubes and hoses store told me. i find it odd that you have had a leaking problem twice now. i am think that something is not the right size, whether its the fittings or the hose. go to a local store that deals with hoses, tubes, fittings and that sorta stuff and get new hose, just make sure it is the right size. i would take one of your push locks in with you just to make sure you get the correct hose.

I ended up backing off clamps and using grey RTV I used on the sump around the yellow caps on the fittings and re clamping. I have not had a drip yet. I'll be getting new hose and fittings in the mean time since I don't have the warm fuzzies about it at this point, time will tell! Thanks for the help
