This is the first one at very front most of the engine. I tightened the main line to that injector but was unsure how to check the other connections. Anyone had this issue before or can offer suggestions? Not exactly sure where all the fuel could leak out other than the main line that feeds it. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

It could be the top of the injector too. Try putting a 7/16" wrench on the bolt there and tightening it. I'm pretty sure the leak off lines are 1/4" not 5/16". I like to use the pinch on hose clamps instead of the worm drive type as it makes for a cleaner looking job. Any good hardware store will have them in those boxes of specialty hardware.

But I don't think it's 1/4" either. Maybe 3/16". Rain has stopped, so I'm heading out to the garage... I'll check what size it is to be sure - I have some out there. [Reply]  [No Email]

I looked today at the problem injector an it looks like the previous owner put a piece of rubber over the plastic hose in attempt to compress and stop the leak. I feel certain thats the culprit. I may jus proceed in replacing all of the plastic lines. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm pretty sure the 10 series uses the same plastic return lines as the x600's. I dont' bother trying to find plastic replacement line... just use the correct size (5/16", I think) fuel hose and a clamp at each end. [Reply]  [No Email]
