Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel supply line leaks at pump ?

[Jeff H]

I took the truck in last week for some recalls. They discovered fuel leaking from the supply line to the injection pump. They installed new washers. That didn't help.

So they said I need a new fuel line. So I insatlled it today. It still leaks at the pump. It looks like the banjo bolt was over tightened at the dealership. The new washers lookeded like they were squeezed pretty good. So I tried tightening it up till it would stop leaking. But still drips.

Should I get new washers?

How much should they be torqued on?

I'd try slipping two new washers in there... . If the banjo bolt looks twisted that could be your problem. You could order one from TST that has a tap for fuel pressure ... . Dont take any chances on breaking that old banjo bolt. Good luck.

Is TST selling a tapped banjo for 12 valves now?

All I could find was the one for the bleed screw.
