Title: fuel hose to filter leaking
Post by: fayjai on April 13, 2010, 07:45:25 PM

Appears that the fuel hose connecting down to the fuel filter is leaking, changing it would be tough as I would most likely will have to remove the gas tank to access this line.  

Do you think its possible to use some hose tape as a solution for time being?

Thanks.

no
someone tried that with hose clamps on mine and it still leaks
if you want an easy less complicated way to do it just get a piece of metal fuel line and cut your hose where its leaking and put that in the hose then clamp it together good...

best way is to replace the whole thing though

thanks romrog, I was thinking of that as well as it appears replacing that hose in particular will require some small hands...
