Hey guys whats up..... so last night when I finishing my swap, I turned on my car and it started it right up, which is my first swap and come to find out that my fuel rail was leaking gas on the passenger side, where the fuel feed line bolts to the fuel rail. So I inspect the fuel rail thoroughly and come to find out that the bolt with what seems to be a cap on it (it's the big bolt that connects the fuel feed line to the fuel rail) was stripped causing my fuel leak. How can I fix this fuel leak??? Its a stock em1 fuel rail if that helps. Please help me out here.... Thanks in advance you guys.... I tried to find something to help me online but couldn't find anything...

Idk if this is a stupid answer but replace the bolt?

I tried calling honda to order that bolt but they dont know what I'm talking about... it looks like a big *** bolt but on the inside it looks like a filter.... I'm not sure what its called....

go to a junk yard and pick up one my buddy had that happen to his s2k when he blew up his motor and we used one from a spare d15 so i would say they are all the same bolt

I hadnt thought of that thank you for the idea.....

you would want to replace the washers aswell. if there bent or warn you will have a hard time sealing that joint up. i had a terrible time trying to get it right but couldnt until i replaced the two washers witch i lookaly had got with a new fuel filter

do you know where i can get that bolt with the washers?? I dont even know what its called....

robbys89

most auto part shops should do things like that. not 100% on the bolt but you shouldent need to replace it unless its threaded or the edge that meets the fuel rail is all scratched up. cant give you a pesific shop to go to since im in ireland but the parts shops ar no differant. just ask for the seals or washers for the fuel line. you are supposed to replace the washers everytime the line is removed so thay cant be that hard to get

it is threaded thats why I need a new one...

is it the plastic white thang that is called a top off screw ?

robbys89

well you shoulded have trouble getting 1 off a scrapers yard. most of the engines all sizes take that same nut

robbys89

nope cause this is just a steel nut so i dont think so

I just found out its called a fuel damper bolt....

robbys89

well the name fits the discription! haha well leaste now you know what your looking for. if you can get 1 brand new the washers should be included otherwise its useless!

SiRkid1

yup lol guess what I called a honda dealer earlier and the guy said that the damper bolt is $40 without washers with the washers $53.75.... That is ****ing crazy!!!!!!!

robbys89

jesus christ! $40 is dear enuf and an extra $14 for little rings! Der just taking advantage of that cause who ever wants them clearly needs them! my fuel filter along with washers was 30 euro over here!
