Phase 2 EJ engines leaking fuel *PLEASE READ*


Recommended Posts

Just posting this to avoid any dangerous situations. 

On the phase 2 EJ engines intakes there are 3 sections of around 3 inch high pressure line:

one on the drivers side just below where the fuel lines from the car connect

one on the front passengers side ( partially covered by metal shield on some models) 

and one in the back going to the fuel pressure regulator 

The first 2 are the ones that i have seen leaking regularly

I think that over time the fuel line shrinks with age so the hose clamps are no longer tight. 

Just a couple turns will usually stop the leaking. Make sure you have the proper philips head so that you dont strip them 

Some times it takes a little work to rotate the clamps around so that you can easily get to them with a screw driver. 

I tightened the ones on my 2002 forester S over the summer but last week wiht the extreme cold we had here in Ohio mine started leaking again. 

Turned the clamps a little more and havent seen anymore leaks. 

So please check yours and keep a nose out for gas fumes. 

I can add some pics if people would like 

Thanks
