[C320-list] Fuel Leak

[Paul Rickman]

Went through this last year. In my case it was the copper washers. You need to take it
apart, check the hose and replace the washers. See if that fixes the problem.
Could also be one of the washers bleeder screws on top of the fuel filter.

Subject: [C320-list] Fuel Leak

I have what appears to be a very small fuel leak in or around the  small 
metal flex hose between the lift pump and the secondary fuel filter  on the 
starboard side of the engine.  The hose goes from just forward of  the lift 
pump, makes a U and goes under the engine oil dip stick handle, up  to, and 
connects just aft of the secondary fuel filter.  After running  the engine, 
there is a small puddle of fuel under the hose and a drop of fuel on  the hose 
at the bottom of the U. 

Has anybody experienced a similar problem?  I suppose the hose  could be 
bad and leaking or possibly the copper washers...if they are copper on  this 
model.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
