Archived Leak at VP44

[jeepit]

Installed AirDog and ran 1/2"to Vp44 this past weekend. Fitting that was supplied with kit seemed to be leaking so I put a new one in. Now after looking at it closer it almost appears fuel is coming off of back of VP44. Although it is hard to tell since while driving air is flowing thru engine bay and pushing any leaking fuel over pump. What else could be leaking??

dry area completely then turn key to on and then "bump "starter to start LP ,watch for leaks. motor isnt running airdog is. possiblt threads in vp stripped/need teflon tape to seal. hope this helps.

It is not leaking at ftting into pump. It is dry there. It appears on back of pump? Injector lines are not wet...

whats your PSI at idle---just want to know---thanks(mines 16-17,can"t pull below 15)

DWeiler- 16 idle nothing below 14

D Creed- Well it was something so simple I feel stupid. :-laf When we disconnected original fuel lines from the tank we had fuel draining in a bucket. I had left the original fuel filter canister attched to motor since I was too excited to start it up & go. Well, the little left fuel in the canister was slowly being sucked out by the fan on to IP or the heat of the motor was expanding the fuel or something. Anyway, its out now and no more problem.
