I really did it this time!!!
So I was doing the blue spring upgrade on my fuel regulator and I screwed up! I think for one that I kinked the fuel return line while trying to remove the connector and remove the regulator cover. Second, I was actually replacing my fuel pressure sensor adapter since I smelled fuel when I did it the first time around last week. When I went to install it the housing itself broke off right where the threads are. Apparently the first time around I must have cranked too hard and cracked the housing which explains the smell of fuel. I posted a picture and you can see both the fuel line and the cracked housing. As far as the fuel line, do you think it will be okay? Also, does anyone have the part number for the housing so I can replace it and will this be a nightmare to do? Is there an aftermarket one I can use that may boost my fuel pressure since my pressure is real low at WOT?? This may be a good time to upgrade.... Please help me guys!!!

Looks like a bad day in your world, 3 things I can suggest replace of course, do you know someone with a portable TIG unit(it's tight but doable), last temp fix would be JB weld, clean with brake cleaner, plug fuel hole with something, tape front & flow JB in keep it warm & cure 24 hr. Looks like a good time to think about oil & EGR coolers! Good luck.

Thanks. I have already done the EGR delete so no need for that. Good idea to upgrade the fuel system?

I don't feel quite so stupid now. I guess I was thinking, or not, that it was a tapered thread when it is actually an "O" ring.
