fuel line part #- leeking fuel onto exhaust
So I notice fuel under the rear. Yep, weeping lines. Can someone help me out with a part #. Both lines that run from the tank to the front. Presently they are dripping onto the differential and subsequently onto the exhaust! I would like to change these asap but my EPC login isn't working or I've some sort of glitch. Want to hit the dealer today up today... Thanks

Should be generic 5/16" fuel hose. If its the suction line you can cut the collar off the hose barb and use a regular hose clamp to secure the new hose in place.

Thanks. I wasn't able to get to the dealer today but will tomorrow. Will they be able to tell me how much length is needed for both hoses or is it a length in total and I cut to fit? I don't see leaks elsewhere but in the rear, on both hoses. BTW, I know I could get this at a parts store but I'm in the habit of using the dealer for convience and trustworthy longevity on things like this. Any DIY guides?

I replaced mine and described how to empty to the tank easily so you don't end up with a diesel bath. Search on my name and fuel hose replacement.
Don't see why you need dealer parts. 3 or 4' of hose and some clamps from the auto parts store and your good to go. If you follow my instructions you'll also need an additional 5' of hose and a container for the diesel fuel. |
Thanks Kerry, I found the thread and recall it. I'll just get some 5/16 hose from the local parts store and try your drain method- I should only have a couple of gallons in there when I tackle this wed. My fuel guage is just as accurate as yours! I recently ran on "r" for 80 miles and felt sure I'd run out. Filled up and discovered I still had 6 gal in there. So lets see if my estimations on whats in there are good!

Job done. I must admit I found something satisfying watching the car pump its own fuel out so I could work on it! I just connected a length of hose @ the return on top of the main filter and ran it into a 5 gal. fuel container. Had to cut the clamps of the old hoses but all in all an easy job. BTW, dealer sold me 15ft. of 5/16 hose for $5!
