i got a brand new fuel filter to mount my b and m fp gauge on and i cant get it to stop leaking i have trie everything and it still dribles from the copper washers, im not sure if its too tight or what but if anyone has any trick id appreciate the help, im just gunna get back to work on it 2marro but if u can help it would b nice

 

try some teflon tape on the bolts then torque down to specs. wouldn't hurt?

 

teflon tape is the key

 

Did you replace the cooper washers??? If not try that. I have replaced a few of them and never had to use teflon tape.

 

i wraped the threads on the banjo bolt in the teflon ape in teh rotation they are being tightend and still there is a leak this time it is caused by the tape binding up near the head of the bolt and not fully seating, how many times should i wrap the bolt in teflon tape>?

 

just 2 wraps should be fine, makes sure you put some tension on the tape when putting it on.

Also when you wrap it, make sure you wrap it that you go in the direction that the tape will stick and not come unwraped and bunch up.

 

i did that and it still bunches up a little and screw in only like half way, ****** still leaks from the copper washers on the top of the banjo bolt and i just replaced them i dont understand how it still leaks im kinda pissed, its such a small leak it just puddles up on top of the filter after driving for a while but im kinda scared to drive it around alot

 

did you double check to see if the old washer is off? it a far fetch but worth the check..

 

well no, but im not sure if i said this but the old honda filter had a copper surfaace in which the copper washers, banjo line, another copper washer and banjo bolt all sit... and on the new filter it is all steel, not sure if this would seal as good as the copper to copper but damn it should still work, im thinking of using rubber o rings give me ur ideas of wheter or not this is good or bad....
