Re: [T3] Fuel Leak


I was able to fiddle with the hoses and clamps enough to get it to stop
leaking.  Home Depot did not have the hose and there was no where else to
go.  I drove it home without incident. I checked it a few times and it was
dry. Loosening the clamps helped the most.

So I get home and decide to start the hose replacement.  I just barely move
the hoses on the non leaky side and they cracked right off.  WOW were they
ever dry rotted.  So I replaced the rails, injectors and the hoses. All is
well.

On the old injectors the little hose that goes to the fuel rail is
destroyed.  How do I remove that metal crimped around the top of the
injector so I can clamp new hose to the injector?  These are good injectors,
but since I had others I used them, plus I wasn't in the mood to try and
remove this crimped metal.

Thanks for the help,
