Unhappy TPI Fuel Rail Leak

I had my system apart and now there is significant leak at the point where the pressure line enters the fuel rail. The rail is from a 90 camaro (in my 72 el camino) and the line enters at the front end on the passenger side. The leak is NOT from an O-Ring on the crossover.

It looks to me like the line is press fit & crimped to the rail. Is this correct? Is there another O-Ring here? Is there a repair procedure? Any special tools needed? Thank you and I appreciate any input on this.

Sorry thins is a bit late, but if you are still having issues, I'll try and help.

Yes, there is a press in fitting on the end of the pass side fuel rail. If it is leaking, you need to get a new fuel rail for just that one side. I myself have not seen a repair for this yet, but that dosent mean there isint one out there.

Try E-bay or Craigslist.....there are alot of these fuel rails out there.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Shortly after I posted, I took the rail apart. There was an O-Ring in there. I replaced it, and "resealed" the end. Its been fine ever since. I bought a generic o-ring that fit, nothing too special. Thanx for thinking of me.

Coll man, glad you got it fixed. Good to know that it is in fact repairable.

Thanks for the reply.
