172 Diesel leakoff line

riveroadrat · Feb 20, 2018

Just a tip on checking for leaks. You can use 5/16 bolts and nuts with the brass washers to seal and test the line by applying air pressure (not too much) and soapy water to the joints.Have any of you repaired these lines? I tested 4 lines today and they all leaked. I dont think they are supposed to hold very much pressure as its only return fuel. I was thinking of using gorilla glue to seal the joints or should I chunk that one out the window?

I brazed mine, but it's a good idea to put it in a jig so it doesn't warp during the heating process. Save the gorilla glue for another project!
