Small fuel puddle on top of supercharger - 04/16/07 09:25 PM

Hi guys,

I notice after a few days of having the car sitting that I get a rather small puddle of fuel on top of the S/C. It's right under the connections of the fuel line. It's the one on the right. How can I fix it? confused
Thanks,

Luis

Get some quick disconnect o-rings, disconnect the lines, remove old ones, install new, reconnect.

Do they sell them at any autoparts store? How do I remove those lines? Thanks.

Yes, it's sold at autoparts stores. You'll need a quick disconnect tool found there as well. It shoves up inside the fuel fitting and causes it to unlatch and pull right off.

And also Do Not Drive until you get that fixed. A few GPs have met there demise because of that.

Thanks for the concern. Besides the fuel issue, the GTP's battery is dead lol, so I've been using my Z24. I guess it's a usual issue with the GTP's to fail at that connection?

Common enough to be an issue from what I understand... I've not seen it personally in any of the gp's I deal with though...

Thanks guys! thumbsup Ok, Maybe I'm a lil slow or something, but I removed the two top fuel lines and I don't see any O-rings..? Am I looking in the wrong place or do I not have them?
Please advise.

Thanks,

Luis

its not the 2 top fuel lines that have the o-rings. its where the fuel rails meet the injectors

The top fuel lines do have o-rings, they're inside the quick disconnect fitting.

Yeah, I had to remove the lil clip inside to see them. Now I just have to find out were I can get them and are ones to be used with fuel.

Try an autoparts place in the quick disconnect accessories (like repair lines, clips, etc).

Well I finally changed the o-rings on the side that was leaking (right side). It wasn't too hard, just very tricky and time consuming. What I did notice was that the fuel line was actually a lil bent. They should both be straight. Maybe that in itself was the reason the fuel was coming out. Regardless, I changed the o-rings and it seems fine so far. Thanks to all who gave input! thumbsup
