pearlm30 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 98 forester, strong gas odor. Digging around and found the leak is coming from the quick connector located right on top of fuel pump. Is this a common place for gas to leak/sipping thru? I am assume I will need a new connector? Any suggestion? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Pretty common for the metal piping there to rust. If the rust spreads up under the o-ring seal in the connector it would cause a leak. You will probably have to replace the entire fuel pump unit to repair that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 what Faritax said - and it can be a real bear to get that connector apart. This is what it looks like when you do get it apart... you are supposed to be able to squeeze the white part to slide the hose side off...I had to do a fair amount of digging with a dental pick to get enough rust out of there to be able to separate mine.
