Okay so I changed out fuel pump and re routed everything underneath but I'm still leaking on both sides of fuel pump. Should I use Teflon tape on this? Why am I still leaking?

Wait..... I'd like to see better shots of the barbs you are clamping to.
I won't disagree with Mike, he knows his shit. Maybe I'm missing something..... But no way in hell would I rely on teflon tape to prevent a gas leak that shouldn't be happening if the clamps and barbs are right (the ends than you are clamping the fuel line over). I don't use teflon tape on my fuel hose connections, have never needed to, and am not going to start. I would fix it with better connection surfaces, not band aids. And if you work with Injection pressure in the future, I add a 1000x importance to my point. [EDIT] I was thinking of hose that gets pushed over a piece of metal tubing and clamped tight. If you are talking about leaking from threaded fittings, my bad, that's another matter. [/EDIT] |
