My fuel line that comes off the in the tank fuel filter is leaking fuel from the quick connector so I've odered a new filter assembly and a new fuel line. I've found plenty of fuel filter DiY but I cannot for the life of me find even a diagram of where that fuel line even goes to from the filter. Does anyone out there have a diagram or a write up anything would help. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any photos?

 

Yes I just took some i don know how to post them yet. I've figured out where the line goes and have a game plan. I was just hoping someone had some insight.

 

Are you referring to the fuel line that connects to the top of the filter or the in tank connections?

 

Yes I am. It runs down the side and then connects underneath.

 

Replaced the fuel line and the filter no leaks. After driving the car 2 short trips I got a loose gas cap message. I checked the cap it was secure. I pulled the seat and checked for any fuel leaking. I found none and none under the car where the fuel line connected. Hopefully it was just random.

 

did you replace the o-ring when you replaced the filter? perhaps the new filter is not seated in the same orientation on the old gasket and there is a pressure leak?

 

Yes the new filter assembly did come with a new o-ring. It's funny that I never got a warning message while the fuel line was leaking. And it was leaking pretty bad. Like I said hopefully it's just a random message and doesn't happen again. Fingers crossed I definitely don't wanna have to take it to the stealership

 

Could it be possible to over tighten the collar?
