leaking Injector line at IP

[buccaneer]

1985 WHite multi 465

just noticed a leaking line going to the first cylinder. leaking near the line and not around the threads at the IP. Ive tried tightening the nut and it wasn't loose.

Any ideas on an easy fix? Thanks

You may need an insert to go in the line. Sometimes they don't have them and you can't tighten it down, it just crushes the line.

I just discovered one of my lines going to one of my cylinders is leaking and the fitting is tight. Where can you get an insert from?

You can use the brass inserts for air lines; any truck stop should carry those. Consider replacing all the return lines, while you are at it, with truck air lines.

The M109 I just picked up is leaking at the IP head too. It looks like the leak is under the connector from the head to the lines to the individual injectors.

Cattlerepairman,

When you say "brass inserts for air lines" are you talking about the poly lines for the return fuel?

I think the OP and ARYankee are having the same problems as I am. I thought the connectors were steel when I was into the HH on my M35.....

Anyone help clear up my confusion?

Thanks,
Dave

I got mine at Ace hardware

I'll loosen it up and take it apart to see. When we are saying "insert" I'm assuming the ferrule that helps it to seal. I'm sure if that is is what it is then I will pick some up at Home Depot or something.

Mine is leaking at the IP where the lines all come out separately for each cylinder.

The "insert" is rubber and is just not making a good seal.

Sounds like this thread might help:
