If your car smells like fuel..

Do yourself a favor and light a match. Haha, just kidding.

No but seriously, alot of you guys doing the turbo install need to be careful with the size of clamps you may use. I was just out checking fuel pressure and the lines to the rail for any leaks. I found that the 14-16mm clamp I used for the line---> rail was loose. Not very loose, snug loose. In fact, it was never fully tightened because the clamp is a tiny, tiny, tiny bit too big. So big, that you think it is as tight as can be, yet the clamp isn't small enough to fully seal the line to the rail. I have been leaking fuel the past 8 months on initial start-up because of this. I couldn't find the leak for quite some time.

*** PLEASE BE SURE YOU USE 11-13MM CLAMPS*** Otherwise, you will think the clamp is tight, because it feels tight, but it's actually loose enough for a leak.

Wanted to give any newbs or guys installing the kit or even lines a heads up on that. Oh and, never use worm clamps. They'll work, but it's a safer more secure bet to go with the t-bolt style.

What clamps are we talking about?

Total05- They're the clamps you use for fuel hose. It's where the feed line clamps onto the fuel rail. The clamp is decievingly too big, which can cause a pretty good fuel leak. It's hard to find because alot of it evaporates before you can even see it.

Jeez... what's wrong with you guys? Just play nice... I can have you all suspended for this kind of stuff. As Defiant would say, "it's just the 'interna-web,'" no need to get all worked up.

Have some of the posts been deleted from this thread? I don't see any arguing haha. But that sounds like a good heads up to me at least, so thanks Blitz.

I guess I haven't looked, but is this a 95 only type thing? Stock fuel system and stock clamps we are talking about?
