Fuel Leak - Quick Question

Post by gumby6371 »

Hi all, just checking something.

I've got a fuel leak and I'm not exactly sure where from but it's either injectors or leak off pipes. The plan is to change all the leak off pipes and fire washers as it's a cheap fix but was just wondering if there are any other seals in that area ?
Do the pipes between the fuel pump and the injectors have seals in them or are they just compression joints ?

I don't fancy stripping it all down to find I need to go back to the motor factors for some more seals.

the leak is more annoying than critical, but with the price of fuel these days I don't want to waste any :cheesy:

more than likely the leak of pipes tbh but just check the injector pipes are tight i have never heard of an injector itself leaking just the pipes to them or the leak of ones
