Fuel leak
Hi I changed my fuel pump a while back and have now developed a fuel leak after inspecting where it is coming from I found that it is leaking at the fittings going into the back of the heads seems like a simple fix but was wondering can I change the O rings in these fittings without taking the banjo bolt out or should the banjo come out so nothing breaks I wouldn,t want a crack as these lines look like it wouldn,t take much to break or bend.
Also is the O ring on the male side or the female side.
Thanks
Walter

There aren't any o-rings in there. It's called a vibra-lok fitting. Instead of an o-ring it has what looks like a short section of fuel line that seals the two pieces, sort of like the brass ferrell in a compression fitting for copper tubing.

Here's a bit more info on them:
PIONEER INDUSTRIES.
Parker - VIBRA-LOK
And yes, you can take the fitting apart and replace the sleeve without removing the banjo bolt. Get replacement sleeves that are made of Viton and not Buna N. The Buna is only good for 275*F and with the pass side being so close to the DP you need the Viton that's good for 450*F

Yeah kinda but I don't understand it. Is there a certain number of days you have to wait, number of posts, or what?
