we need to ask WHY it is leaking?

did you you recently remove the fuel rail? install new injectors?

sometimes it is simply washers. sometimes people use a pulsation dampener from an EF rail on an EG. the threads are NOT the same. it will cause leaks.

i have the same problem. after installing a new b and m hose fuel is squirting from the rail by the banjo. i tried various of washers and no fix. what is the plastic nut and what does it do anyway. how can i fix this please help me asap. i am willing to do anything to stop this dam leak i dont feel like buying a new fuel rail though cause my motor isnt built for me to use a larger volume. everything is fine by the filter but when i tighten the plastic nut it squirts fuel and my pressure goes down right away. oh and i have a 95 gsr

you said you tried various washers? umm were they regular washers? or the special aluminum ones that "crush" to form a seal


make sure u have the proper crush washers in there and also throw some teflon paste on the threads and dont be afraid to tighten it, its not a oil filter. give it a good crank. i mean dont like HULK the thing but definitely make sure its tight

i bought honda crush washers. the reason it leaks its because of the new hose. ive noticed that the new banjo for the hose is smaller and the stock one is a little fatter. im not messing with it anymore i just put the stock hose on with the stock washers and everything is fine now. it jsut sucks cause i paid 60 bucks for that hose.

can anyone confirm this about the pulsation dampeners :

1990 CRX Si/HF P/N:16680-PCX-003 or 16680-PE7-661
1994 Civic DX/LX/DX P/N: 16680-PCX-003 or 16680-PE7-661

I looked these up hondapatsdeals.com and 94-95 seem to be the same part number as 90-91 MPFI models. 92-93 models and VX trims dont have a part number available.
