Fuel Leak

ok I got a fuel leak. its the flexible lines that connect the hard lines from the frame to the hard lines that run down the front of the motor. the leak is at the quick connect joint that joins the hard lines at the motor. are these repairable? anyone know if those flexible lines are replaceable? whats the part numbers? Im sure some hose clamps and diesel rated hose would work just fine but im more the do it right kind of guy. but hey if I cant get replacement parts...

I'll give you a bump Ken. I don't know but I would probably go with plan B. IIRC those are pretty hard to get at.

I have never messed with them.
Mikes fix looks like the easiet, most economical and sound way to go (w/o seeing exactly where it is).

Take a look here to see which line it is. I think this part number is the return line on the engine side of things.

Strictly Diesel has an adapter for the return line at the frame if thats the line thats leaking.
