Leak in fuel line by T-fitting and air flow meter boot

[IoWesty]

I just changed my fuel lines using the GoWesty fuel line replacement kit. Everything went well until I took the van for a test drive. I have a leak where the new fuel line goes over the T-fitting (to the driver's side of the fuel pressure release screw) to the driver side fuel rail. I am going to change clamps and see if that doesn't fix the leak.

Does the this T-fitting go bad or is my clamping faulty?

Second, I reinstalled the airbox and now the rubber boot wont stay clamped to the air flow meter on the airbox. Any tricks to get this to stay clamped together?

I suspect your clamp on that fitting. Snug it up or do over and see what happens.
Did you use the GW crimp-style clamps? What kind of pliers did you use? Just curious...

Juggle that boot to the AFM and it should settle in to place. Make sure the air filter
box is settled into the rubber mounts on the right side of the engine bay.

Keep us posted!

Thanks. Turns out the valve on the T- fitting was leaking gas, not the hose. I had to loosen the screw and play with the washer a little, but its not leaking now. I'll keep my eye on it for a few days.

I used the GoWesty crimp style clams and a pair of clamp pliers from Home Depot I got for about $8. They really do the trick.

For some reason, the clamp on the intake boot won't snug up. I'll keep at it.
