My fuel rail is leaking Like the Clap!!!
 

My m-tuned fail rail leaks like a bitch through the rear and fpr fitting. WTF shoul I seal it with so I can stop working on this shit and get back to railing super-models in my penthouse harem?

did you check the oring? If nothing else you can jbweld it.

Trade for a Vishnu dual feed fuel rail? You have a 99 head right?

Is this the new generation one?

Sub'd to find out if hustler blew out an o-ring :giggle:

Good dose of Hustler man-chowder should seal it right up.

You are such a queer.

This is the first one I believe. I've tried super black RTV, Jeg's fuel fitting sealant, white teflon tape, and yellow teflon tape.

Don't use the tape on those fittings, use the paste linked above. Is it leaking from the 1/8 npt fittings?

contact m-tuned

My tuner toys rail leaked and I tried the tape with no luck. I ended up using the Permatex stuff and its been leak free since.

I don't speak Canadian, nor can I speak to anyone from a country who only has 17 olympic medals to my 32. Besides, they probably won't speak to me after the USA beat their ass in hockey.

Dude what is with you and aids?

Im still waiting for the ninja edit on the title of the thread :giggle:

:giggle:

The Olympics are on?

Wanna find out?

If its dripping and or leaky its not AIDS its something else..... :x:

We beat the women and will beat the Men's team also once we finish with Slovakia :)

Use Teflon Paste and make sure the fittings are nice and snug. This are NPT fittings.. They won't leak as long as the surfaces are clean, you use Teflon paste.

Joking aside.. 99% of our business is in the USA. Our team knows how to speak American.

:giggle:

It's true. When I done did ordered mah rods frem dem dey understood me reel gud like.

I'm going to run by homo depot after work and pick up this Teflon paste.

Try an autoparts store. I don't think the home depot will have the automotive stuffs.

What size and threadpitch are those fittings? I'm going to replace the one that's leaking on the fuel feed.

3/8npt for the 2 feed ends.

I've personally had good luck with JB weld and bad luck with teflon anything.

Mine stopped leaking with great white pipe joint compound. That stuff holds up to 10,000psi.

Just like Patsmx5 or whatever his name was said, JB-weld and joint compound are completely different from Teflon products. Their purpose is to lubricate the threads so you can mash them together more; the sealing is done completely by the threads. So if Teflon goo (which is better than tape because any excess oozes out as you thread it in, you can use too much Teflon tape) isn't working, you most likely have damaged threads. So you're doing the right thing by buying a new fitting. If it continues to leak however, you can clean up those threads by getting a tap and tapping it further, as long as the fitting (which will now thread in further) doesn't interfere with anything, or doesn't bottom out.

Screw the teflon. Use the permatex thread sealer linked to above.

Try tightening the fittings with a wrench, not your girly fingers.

Your turbo crap made life worth living, feel free to talk as much shit as you want.

I had issues with my FPR, I used some permatex that was made for fuel, but it ate right through it. Now i cant remember what I ended up using, maybe teflon tape.
