Is there a gasket on the fuel rail?

[methodgirl97]

Where the fuel line from the fuel filter meets the fuel rail is there a gasket?

I was trying to change out my fuel filter and couldn't get the goddamn nut off! I didn't want to strip the nut so i was thinking to take out the line AND the filter together but wasn't sure if the was a gasket where it meets the fuel rail. Since i didn't have a spare in case there was i left it alone.

i drive a '97 eclipse Gs Spyder N/T

anyone know?

I think you would be able to find your answer in CAPS!

There isn't on either end. BUT, there is an o-ring that seals the pieces together. It goes around the part that slips into the rail. I believe there's one on either side, fpr side as well as the filter side.

Good luck.

Yeah whenever i do fuel stuff i just unbolt the lines from the rail, make sure the o-rings look alright on the adapters and bolt it back on.

Its always a good idea to replace the o-rings on the end of the fittings, there is only two bolts holding the line to the rail.

I lightly oil the o-rings, helps with sealing
