Fuel leak on fuel filter fitting

[DonFitzwater]

I've got a fuel leak at the fuel filter housing. The supply line connects to the backside of the filter housing with a quick connector, this quick connector has started weeping. My dealer can't find service parts for the end and says I need to buy a new fuel line assembly. Does anyone know if there is a parts kit or individual parts available for servicing the quick connector?



Thanks

I think the connectors are Dodge but just to be sure I'm posting pics of the fuel filter and fuel pump plumbing.



If your fitting hooks to #8 in the lower picture then it is Dodge. Dorman offers repair ends for those. I will post a link to those shortly.

Yes Mike, #8 is what I've got. The quick connect end is what is starting to leak.

Ok, then the hose that hooks to #8 is Dodge for sure.



See this link from Dorman Products, clips and such start on Page 4. This should give you the part numbers needed for repair.

Long story short: I was able to save the end that was leaking without replacing it. The previous owner had installed a Fitch fuel catalyst and the end of that which was attached to the factory hose was scratched and causing it to leak. I removed the magic catalyst and installed the factory hose onto the inlet of the fuel filter housing and the leak has stopped for now. I'm going to go ahead and purchase a couple of the ends from Dorman just to have spares. Thanks for your help Mike.
