1990 Bronco II Fuel Line Connection

[km4572]

Hello, I am having a gas leak from the fuel line connection with the snap lock connector (connects into regulator). I have pointed to the area with a screwdriver in the photo. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix? I am having trouble finding an exact part to replace and it seems the entire lines are discontinued. Any help is much appreciated!

Have you determined where the leak is actually coming from? The only thing that creates the seal is a o-ring. Or is it the line itself where it's leaking?

There should be an o-ring inside the connector, maybe 2 of them
See if you can find replacements, unless the hose is cracked or the connector the leak is probably an o-ring

All B2/Ranger fuel lines are 5/16" nylon
Engine bay lines will have rubber and metal mesh over them
Ford used 2 sizes of connectors, 5/16" and 3/8" but the hoses are all 5/16"

The pressure side, tank/pump to fuel rail are 3/8" connectors
Return hose, FPR back to tank is 5/16" connector
So they can't be mixed up

Dorman sells the Ford Connectors, and o-rings

It is leaking at the attachment from the regulator to connector. Hose is ok
