found leak(s)

thanks to another TDR member, I have found the leaks. I removed the pump and pre-filter assembly and pressured it up with about 20psi of compressed air. I then submerged it in a bucket of water. found a small leak in the molded rubber hose between the filter housing and the pump. found another small leak in the rubber gasket in the compression fitting for the fuel supply tubing. both weren't big, but together it was enough. I had already ordered a molded hose from Dodge. But now my question is, do I have to order the whole fuel supply tubing, jus to get that rubber gasket? the auto parts stores around here are useless.



thanks

If you still get problems, check the fuel heater electrical connector as well - Fuel Heater Connector Leaking Air Thread

thanks. He was the TDR member that sent me a P. M. and gave me a "heads up". I got the idea from him to pressure test the unit in a bucket of water.
