Hi people the fuel pipe from the fuel pump to the fuel filter is leaking where the union goes through the pipe into the filter. Ive tried 2 new copper washers,its still leaking but not as bad. Im wondering if there is any other type of washer to help stop the leak.

Dowty washer with the rubber seal in the middle

Or you can use wurth pipe sealer on copper washers or you could try the alloy type or above as said but i would smear some lube on the rubber on the dowty seal.

Would the petrol not melt the rubber on them washers?

I will google that wurth pipe sealer now.

If the surfaces are burred the pesky things will always leak mate. You can get replacement fittings on ebay. Thats what I ended up doing.

Ive tried cleaning the surfaces of the pipe and filter.

When/hopefully i move into my next house with a garage i will have another look at it.
