Fuel leak found...options
Fuel leak Jet pump return line
Well after much swearing, some bloodletting, I found my fuel leak. This is the jetpump return line. I would really like to meet the engineer who designed this setup to explain my feelings about it! My question is options. Has anyone on this forum ever successfully spliced on of these type wear holes with any available kit? Several used ones are listed on fleabay for approximately $70. I know new is not an option. With this being the JP return line it shouldn't have too much pressure on it while running I think. I have never worked with nylon line before and am a little intimidated by it due to application and having to put a bend in it. It also looks like the chafing is due to rubbing against sharp point on frame which my arm can attest to. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
