MEP-803A Fuel Leak

[M35A2-AZ]

I have a MEP-803A that I ran a little today and I noticed two fuel leaks. The bigger line is leaking right at the injector. Does anyone have a place to get the small (1/8") fuel line I have showed in the photo.?

I use Gates 1/8" fuel line, on a spool at O Reillys. Others probably work too (the gates is just a touch undersized compared to OEM... just takes a bit more work to replace).

Thanks! I got it apart today and will get new hose.

For the main fuel lines (not the topic we are discussing at the moment) the OEM press fit caps can be replaced with small hose clamps. For the return line (what you did ask for) you will want to pick up a pack of 1/8" plastic vacuum tees (in case they break during the fix) and very small zip ties. Do it right, do it once.

When replacing the small return line, it can be a bit of a struggle to get the hose onto the plastic tees above the injectors. I've found that adding 1 drop of diesel in the end of the hose helps lubricate and makes it easier to push the hose on.

You guys were right, putting the new 1/8" hose was a job. But I got it done and no leaks so far. Thanks!

Its a bit of a PITA, but gets a little easier the more times you do it. Won't say I enjoy it though...

What is used to secure the 1/8" fuel lines? Mine had what looked like zip ties on it.

Would these camps from amazon be better?
