Saph cos fuel pipe nightmare :-(
Afternoon guys! Well what a nightmare today turned out to be. Booked half day holiday to get the old saph cos 4x4 on the ramp to attack the growing to do list. Thought I'd start with changing the fuel filter as long time overdue (typical mechanics car!) fitted the new genuine ford one with new copper seals and the bugger leaked. Took it all apart again, cleaned up the banjo unions, re fitted with more new seals and leaking again! Tried the old filter back on with old seals and still leaking. It's only a weep at both unions but still leaking all the same. Looks like I may have to get new fuel pipes or buy some fuel banjos I've seen on eBay and replace the plastic pipes with rubber fuel hose. Has anyone come across this problem before? Inputs much appreciated! Thanks
