Fuel leak at the water fuel separator fittings

GregCO · Sep 5, 2010

I was mowing with my utility tractor the yesterday and noticed it seemed to be using more fuel than normal. Stopped to have a look and the fittings at the water fuel separator were leaking. Headed home to fix the leak and found out that the fittings are not threaded into the housing, but are pressed in. I tried to tap them in further and get them to seal, but no luck, in fact if I pull on them real good I can pull them right out of the housing. Not good.

Any Ideas? I really need to get this thing back up and running safe and of course nobody is open for parts.

Thanks in advance,

Greg

loctite stud and bearing mount should seal it up...just a light coat on outer part of fitting and drive it back in.
