problem gents: I decided NOT to go under the car last night to do some work. instead, i decided to change out the fuel hoses. I replaced all the aforementioned fuel hoses except the return line (its not the same diameter as the other hoses) and the hard plastic fuel lines (same reason).

I pulled the fuel line from the fuel heater (the one that has 3 lines going into/out of). near the front of the fuel heater is a plastic part that is held in with a snap ring. that thing has been slow dripping ever since I pulled the hose. I put some kitty litter on the garage floor this morning and im going to check again for a leak puddle when i get back. if there's a leak, then i imagine i will have to replace it.

so my question is, is that plastic part replaceable? I'm guessing yes, or otherwise, that snap ring is just for decoration. Or is it not? Or, are these leaks a normal thing when removing these hoses?

thanks,
bob
