Well, first you need to figure out where the leak is...

I guess I'd jack the car up and remove the wheel, then have someone cycle the key to on, which should run the pumps for a moment. Repeat until you can identify the leak, then the course of action should be obvious.

It's unlikely the pump itself is the source of the leak. The photo suggests the connection to the filter might be at least part of the problem.

Probably wise to have a fire extinguisher handy...

 

Yeah man I keep an extinguisher in the car. Funny cuz I had it in my last SEL first

 

But alright I’ll do what you suggested. Thanks always John.

If it hasn't been done in the past, you should replace all the rubber back there instead of replacing one as they leak. If one's leaking, the others are not far behind. It's very much a while-you're-there moment. I just did this on a client's car. Spending money on this rubber isn't "being robbed," it's being smart about your repairs, especially ones with high flammability risk (fuel delivery).

 

@csquared4290 thanks man. Were you able to see the video? I’m spotty with posting vids on forums. And what I meant by being robbed was that storage unit. They charge me $398/month for storing my car there.

 

Ah my B for misunderstanding.

I can pull up a list of all the parts you need but it'll take me some time--busy with work on this Monday

 

You can cut that metal ferrule off with some sharp diagonal cutters and replace the hose with new and secure it with hose clamps. Good advice to replace all the rubber back there, though. It's all less than 100 psi, so fuel injection style hose clamps should be fine everywhere.

 

so I’m replacing the metal line right now just to get the car out of the storage and doing so dumped a good amount of fuel out of the fuel pump. What are the best steps to starting the car once everything is assembled. Do I prime them first?

 

Fill and turn the key. Done. Check for leaks. DO NOT overtighten ANYTHING metal on the fittings. Always air on the side of not-tight-enough. You can always slightly tighten to stop a leak. But you can't undo it if you strip threads.

 

@csquared4290 thanks man. Was planning to give the car more gas. The rest of the hoses are going to be done by early next month along with my hubs (possibly since my wheels are stuck!) won’t be driving the car until then. You have my word.
