I just finished installing an overhaul kit in one of my 44idf's. It runs great now except for a stubborn fuel leak at the large 19mm filter holder plug just next to the fuel intake. The one that holds the small white filter. That one. I can't get it to stop leaking. Not a pouring out leak but a drip per second leak. I tried loosening it, tightening it and using two gaskets together and it still leaks. both surfaces look clean and smooth. Any ideas?

Cooper crush washer, or the red fiber crush washer? If it's a fiber crush washer, soak it in low viscosity motor oil or gasoline for an hour. Wipe off the excess oil, and reinstall. Soaking it in gas or oil allows the fiber washer to swell up, and facilitates sealing. To be honest, if you left it sit overnight, then tightened it a little bit in the morning, it would seal, but this method guarantees it will seal the first time out.
Common problem with new fiber sealing washers. I'm assuming they are the fiber ones, as pretty much all the rebuild kits I've seen include the fiber washers... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It's a fiber washer. I'm trying the "leave it overnight and tighten it the next day" method. Only because I didn't know what else to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) If it still doesn't work I'll try soaking it. |
