In my video I discuss how I bleed my engine. I show JB weld stick on the
HP injector bleed screw which is notorious for leaking/coming loose. As
Russ says, the bleed screws on the filter also regularly leak so I plug
those with JB weld as.
The banjo bolt going into the lift pump is (IMO) slightl
Hi Bev,
I had a leak at the bleed screw gasket on a filter top. Being the
filter between lift pump & injector pump.
I verified the location by putting little wraps of paper towel around
the system connections. The leak quickly discolours the paper towel,
even before you can smell it.
Fuel can leak from just about anywhere (:-).
If you have a Racor filter, there are numerous places - mine was leaking from
under the manual pump that is used for priming.
Good luck.

motor? Copper sealing gaskets around banjo fittings should be replaced each
time the bolt is loosened when you bleed the system. I keep a
Fuel leak into the engine? Or out? What signs and simptoms are you
experiencing?

the problem persists somewhere. Is there an obvious place to start looking? ___
