I installed an AEM fuel rail and adjustable regulator and have noticed some gas leaking from the rail. On the rail, there is the spot to mount the regulator and a hole to mount the fuel pres. gauge. I mounted the gauge on the fuel filter instead and plugged the rail hole with the piece provided. Point is, its leaking. How can I fix this?

 

Mine did the same thing, I eventually had to use JB weld on it to stop it from leaking. My friends also did the same thing. Try tightening the allen bolt, if that doesnt work, throw it in the garbage because that is where aem fuel rails belong anyway.

 

Wish I would have known that before I bought it!! I'll try mounting the gauge there and hopefully that will take care of it.

 

same problem here jb weld it is i love honda-tech

 

What about putting some teflon tape arround the blot that is supposed to be sealing it??

If not teflon tape what about some sort of sealer made for gas?? (like honda bond, but for fuel)

 

or what about doing what your supposed to do and replacing the copper crush gaskets from the original fuel rail and it wont leak

Its not leaking where the regulator is, its leaking by the "spare hole" where a fuel pressure gauge could go

I'll try that and see what happens. If that doesnt work, I may have to weld it. Thanks for your help all!

 

It is specified in the install not to use teflon tape. You probably just need to tighten that bolt a little bit more. I, on the other hand, had to weld it.

 

jb weld did the job

 

I'd use the liquid teflon sealer. Its meant to seal pipe threads, jb weld is not.
