Fuel line connector

Bill Thank you for your reply. The tightening torque is 90 in-lbs, which means 10Nm, isn't it?

90 in-lbs is about 10 Nm, yes

My fuel line is leaking at the attachment to banjo bolt. I used thread sealant and tightened. Still leaking I believe the compression fitting is bad. Could it be the banjo bolt itself? (Cheap fix) If it is the fuel line (old type stainless steel) do I just need to replace the assembly with the newer flex hose type? Thanks

The first thing to do is determine what is leaking???  Banjo, Fuel Line, Fitting ???

Thread sealant is NEVER used on a Banjo Fitting!

Start with replacing the Three Copper Gasket washers.

Do NOT over-tighten them!
