In fact, overtightening may cause leaks and will certainly lessen the lifetime of the hose. Did you check the metal barb on the injector to make sure it had not been cut in to by the PO when they cut off the original hose and crimp ferrule? A cut there can cause a leak, but I have managed to fix some of these by filling the saw kerf with solder. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
