fuel leak, wat should i do?

[joey nguyen]

my datsun has a fuel leak from the hose that connects from the fuel rail to the fuel injectors. i just thought the hose was just old so i changed it but after changing the hose it's still leaking. could it be the o rings are old or i just simply need new fuel injector.

whatever you do, be EXTREMELY cautious with any fuel spills, even small amounts. Highly flamable/ explosive vapors are especially dangerous in enclosed areas with the ignition pressure can blow things apart and create flying shrapnel, in addition to injury from initial blast pressure and fire danger.Make sure parts are completely clean, dry and ventilated before considering soldering or welding a leak.

Ohh k. You need to find out exactly where it's coming from. Use brake clean or anything that will get rid of the fuel and evaporate quickly so you have a dry area.

Is it only when it's running or if you turn the key on (not running) does it leak?

[joey nguyen]

yea when the engine is running

what kind of hose did you replace it with....your basic heater hose or vacuum line won't hold the pressure....make sure you use a good strength fuel line
