Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) fuel leak after afs install

[RConner]

Installed the afs glacier system and it works great, have it set a 17 psi and it only drops a few psi at wot with the edge on 6. There are no apparent leaks when it is idleing but after I drive it there is a few drips on the bottom of the tank under where the pick up is. When I disconnected the old pickup line I left the other end of the plastic fitting on the pick up tube. I just slipped the rubber hose on and tightened the hose clamp. Was I supposed to completely remove the plastic piece from the pickup?

Yes you were supposed to remove the stock plastic retainer clip on the pickup module. Also check the return tee for leaks. Hope that you are enjoying that AFS Big Dog fuel system.

How does it come off?

 

[MBFARMS]

It just pulls right off. Just don't be too forceful though.

 

[RConner]

If its kind of corroded on can you break the plastic off?

How does it come off?

It can be a pain. . there a blue clip you have to press in both side 180deg. apart and you may have to use a screwdrive on the bottom one. And the old line will come off.

I have the old line off but I need to get the clip off. .
