Okay, so I need some help with a fuel leak I've had for quite some time now. I have the non-SC 3.8L and on my engine there are two fuel lines that come across the top of the engine and attach to the two fuel rails. The rear line has a large quick connect fitting, shown here:
I have replaced the plastic quick connect clip that connects this fitting to the fuel rail many times, and still had a leak. So I finally decided to remove this piece and look inside, and sure enough there were two o-rings inside that were worn out. I bought some viton o-rings from oreilly but im not sure any of them were actually the right size.
So here's my questions
1. does anyone know what this part is called, or what the part number is? No, but take it to wherever you are going to buy a new one and they can look it up.
2. does anyone know how to put this fitting back on to the plastic line? this fitting has a 3-barbed end on it, but I can't get it into the plastic line past the first barb. Lubricate it with something and it should slide back on-maybe something that will dry out like WD40?..but use it just enough so that it is not dry
3. Can I buy the line and fitting as one piece?I have no idea, but wherever you take the part to to order it should be able to tell you what your options are.
Thanks in advance for any help, and let me know if you guys need more pics or info.
