Question: How major of a deal is this? Should I be worried that it's gonna catch fire? How does a leak like this happen... Looks like it is coming from between the tube and the nut... the nut is 9/16ths as far as I can tell, but rounded off enough that the open-end wrench can't get a grip... so I tried to tighten it with pliers... it is already as tight as it can be... did the tube 'crack' or 'split'? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_ZA6xfHK7A [Reply]   [No Email]

LMAO! :lol: That'll work... but what about when I'm going through the field spewing diesel everywhere? (well... spewing may be a slight exaggeration)... :D   [Reply]  [No Email]

Could be worse, is was just as boring as the wet Russian chicks in the next video....   [Reply]  [No Email]

I saw where someone has used copper tubing in part of the fuel system... I suppose that means that I can replace this stuff with regular plumbing supplies???   [Reply]  [No Email]

These can be bought in most auto stores. simply disconnect the pipe, silde the nut up and use a junior hacksaw to cut it above the original olive.Fit the new olive and tighten the nut back down, the olive will compress and tighten on the pipe. Pump some diesel through the pipe with the hand primer before tightening it up and it should not need any further bleeding. Sam   [Reply]  [No Email]
