Default banjo on fuel filter leeking

hi the banjo on my fuel filter has leeked ever since i changed the filter. ive bodged it with fibre washers but well dodgy under that pressure. i wondered if the banjos are changable its the pipe that goes from filter to engine. the banjo appears to have been moulded into the pipe i wondered if it could be changed or if i need to change the whole pipe ?

Hi,

Fit new cupper washers, not fibre washers.

Regards

If you use new copper washers it will sort the problem, Ford can supply them.

I think banjo is damaged, or face of filter.
Rechange your filter by new one.
