00 GSR fuel rail leak
I've researched this and found similiar things but nothing that directly helps....I was installing everything back stock in my 2000 GSR and fired it up and smelt fuel...noticed on the far left of the rail( me standing in front of the engine) The big *** Nut that the fuel line connects too is dripping a little fuel...Its not coming from my injectors at all as they have the new o rings and arent leaking. Its just coming from the big bolt and the line that connects to the rail....Anyone know the sequence or order of washers /line etc???
I found this

but it doesnt exactly show the rail and i dunno what the hell to order lol..I only have one locktype washer on there im guessing that im missing one or something? Isnt that the fuel filter on the far left end of the rail? Any help would be greatly appreciated
And yes i disconnected my battery and dont plan on starting the car with leaking fuel
Let me know thanks

Thats what i figured also but i do have that washer already on it...what order does it go on like fuel filter then washer then connecting line to the rail or????? That might be why its jacked up....also is their any o rings that need to go in the filter or anything??
ok i see what it is then im missing one of the washers cause i only have one...i ordered a new washer and a new bolt anyways mine was getting kinda stripped...thanks man

You may have wrecked the banjo surfaces with that lockwasher.
The part that looks like a lollipop with a hole in it is called a "banjo". A bolt passes through that into the fuel rail to hold it on. That bolt has a hole drilled through it for fluid to flow. On either side of the banjo, you need soft CRUSH washers.
Crush washers deform to seal any tiny flaws in the banjo/rail/bolt mating surfaces in order to prevent fluid leaks. Your use of a lockwasher may have gouged the surfaces, so even new crush washers may not prevent leakage.
You should be able to find correctly-sized copper or aluminum crush washers at any parts place. If not, at the dealer. They're pretty cheap.
