98 Dodge 12V Fuel Leak
 

yesterday i went to go tow my fathers boat and i noticed a decent size puddle of fuel under my truck. :madd: it seems to be leaking over by the fuel filter maybe a little more behind that. i did change my fuel filter last week. i did tighten everything up. i checked the drain valve and that is closed. i haven't really had time to look yet. hopefully tomorrow i can. i did see this post. maybe a similar problem. i dunno how similar the 12v and the 24v are tho.

Re tighten your injection lines !

Jim are you sure you got the o-rings/gasket in right?:

Thats what I'll bet on, those big o-rings can be a PITA to get back on right. I've gone through more than a few in my 97.

which ones and where exactly are they? thanks

im pretty sure i have them in right. i will first check the injector lines. then inspect and replace if necessary.

The lines that run from your pump tighten each one at the pump and at the injectors

gotcha thank you

well i found where its leaking from. it looks like it will be fun to replace. im guessing it is the fuel supply line?

when i run the truck it squirts out right before the hose clamp. its a crappy cell phone pic.

and it seems like it may be a rubber line i cant quite tell. im going to try and rip into it more tomorrow.

oh and my headlights only work on high beam. new bulbs i checked the fuse. any ideas? thanks!

had one like it go out on my 96, its a pre formed hose, luckily my local cummins dealer had one on the shelf, i now carry a spare one in the glove box, although you can use a long pice of fuel line for a temporary repair untill you get the rite part, :U:

what exactly is it called? any tips while replacing it? any chance you could snap a pic of your spare for me? thanks
