So im leaking here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31168364@N06/3251696554/

When I stop the car and check under the hood gas drips from the indicated spot. (Theres 2 photos). What is that thing and should i replace it professionally or is it simple enough to do myself? Thanks guys.

 

if im not mistaken, thats the fuel pressure regulator... what engine u got? im sure the coug will see this and correct me if im wrong.

 

pressure-regulator's in the back; I bet it's the banjo-fitting on the inlet line


if you're not sure what you're looking at





You could try to fit a wrench on it and see if you can snug it down; they don't normally back out, but there's just 2 copper washers on it. the worst you'd have to do is pull the bolt out and replace the 2 washers. unless the line has rusted through, but I highly doubt that...



and comon ozzie, that's a 22re in the photo, you know that

 

Lol, I was thinking...Thats clearly a 22re.....

 

the dirtiest one i've seen in a while. edit. nevermind thats superbleeders pic.

 

come on superbleeder, you know i get confused. lol. whoops.

 

Its 5 o'clock somewhere...

 

lmao, I can honestly say I haven't seen pictures of a running motor that's more dirty than mine

I don't know if that's something to be proud of though...

the truck had a rough first few months after I first got it; it was constantly covered in Florida mud... it was fun, but I regret it now...




hey so what prize do I win!

 

Had a leak at the same place on mine. You need to replace that part. Dont remember the name but I think it costs around $100 at the dealer.

 

So you're leaking from the banjo bolt on the fuel rail. Try replacing the copper gaskets on each side of it before replacing the bolt itself.

 

the fuel rail?

who told you you had to replace it, the dealer? some two-bit mechanic?

there's not a hole lot that can get damaged on the fuel real itself... there's no moving parts or anything... the worst that could happen is those copper gasket's could fail.

unless it was messed up during prior maintanence... I guess it's possible to cross thread that banjo-bolt...

 

Anti pusling thinamajig - its missing off this guys fule rail. no one told me to replace it the fule was leaking out the end.

 

Banjo What...?

 

oooooh, the large nut looking thing that screws into the end of it???

brass washers are cheaper, I'd start with those

 

yes, thats it....

 

has anyone won the price that was promised in the begining?

 

lol, absolutely not

unless I win a plaque for being voted as having the dirtiest running motor ever on YT

 

ok monkied around under the hood and this is what i got:

of note, there was only one gasket with minor scratches in it. I dont know the official amount needed. can i just get those at autozone or should i hit the dealer?

did we decide on it being called the banjo-kazooie fitting gasket?

congrats on the people saying fuel pressure regulator, thats what the two mechs who look at it said.

can anyone think of a good prize?

ps: thanks for the post interest, im really appreciative of the help!

 

beer is always a good prize! drive down here to sd...

 

pm me your address and i'll put you two new ones in the mail tomorrow. i have about 50 of them.
