Fuel leak

well it seems all the high milage wear parts decided to go out all at once.
i have a fuel leak behind passenger head from the fuel supply line.
there is a rubber hose that connects to a metal line.
seems a simple fix,anyone know where i could buy a kit,or new hose to attatch to the line? or do i have to buy a new section of line?
I'll have all thses pesky easy fixes fixed soon (i hope)
thanks in advance

That fuel line should be all metal from the fuel bowl to the head. Unless you can fab your own it is a dealer only item.

There is a wear spot at a p-clamp that secures the fuel line about half way back that some put a piece of split hose over as a preventative measure. I did.

Pic taken with fuel bowl removed while I was doing an HPOP R&R.

Right in the center you can see where I added the the split hose and put the p-clamp back on.

270k,and its all orginal,only work ever done was service by ford.
i think its just the miles and age,just have to find where to buy a new line or replacement rubber line.

it's behind the passenger head,where the lines dip down at the firewall and down behind the block,it looks like the metal line is incerted into a rubber line there,i could be wrong.

The passenger side fuel line does not extend past the end of the head.

There are no fuel lines that go down behind the block.

I don't understand what you are describing. A pic would be nice.

Click on Post reply then go down below the post box in Additional Options and click on Manage Attachments.
Then you can browse your computer for the pic and upload it.

Give Guzzle a call. If you are having one or more rubber o-ring problems then it is time to replace a lot of the rubber parts.

this is the fuel rail connection sleeves that you may need.
