1G fuel filter will not stop leaking

[Cspaintballer]

After 2 fuel filters and many crush washers i cannot get my damn talon to stop leaking gas from the top of the filter. I think my banjo bolt has bit the dust some how, Ive been thinking what if i got a 90 degree elbow to replace the banjo and then ran a ss fuel line to the rail.

thoughts? would this work and if so anyone who knows what size of fitting i would need would be extremely helpfull! thanks!

Did use new washers on both sides of the fuel hose? Also make sure you didnt double stack the washers.

 

[Cspaintballer]

yes i did use two new washers and no on the double stack

Interesting, well if the mating surfaces look good, the only other thing i can think of is a bad banjo bolt. Do the threads look good?

 

[Cspaintballer]

threads look fine

Switch to ss setup, and call it done. It could be you do not have it tight enough. Mine at first leaked, and I really had to put some english behind it to get it to stop leaking.

I was wrenching on it and it still leaks, would you be able to post a link for a SS setup?

what size threads are on the top of a OEM filter?

not sure if anyone will know the size of the threads on the fuel filter. But you could pull it off and use a thread gauge. OR you could always take the filter back to the auto parts store and have them give you a new banjo bolt that fits in there. I would try that before spending the money on a stainless steel kit, even though it would be nice to have.

I bought an aftermarket marine filter and mounting hardware and attached it near my fuel tank, from there just run fuel line or SS line to your rail. When I change my filter now, it takes me minutes and the filer costs under 10 bucks.

Either your banjo bolt or your stock line is F'd off. Buy the stm and be done with it/
