![]() Because I need your stock ones
![]() I replaced my pump a few weeks back, and when I did, it looked as though there was a few drops coming from right behind the connector on the supply line. I just thought it was fuel that had dripped around when i removed the line. But when i went out and drove it, i got back and saw that the back of the tank was damp from fuel leaking from the top. Since I've gone through a few tanks since then, I've noticed that it doesnt do it when its less than about 3/4 of a tank. And I can smell it with the windows down when I floor it. So I'm guessing that when I go WOT, it see's alot more pressure and causes it to leak. But I dont know why it doesnt do it when the tank isn't very full. I checked with Ford, and they said that the supply line (to the fuel filter) and return line (also connects somewhere up around the filter) are a single unit, and costs like $60. I'm just checkin with you guys first to see if anyone has their stock lines laying around and would wanna sell them at a used rate ![]() If you do, shoot me a PM or an email at : my email thanks

![]() I know my tank leaked at the o-ring seal that seals the pump housing, make sure thats not it, cuz mine only leaked when it was 3/4 full or more, but you said at wot you smell it, so i dunno. good luck.

![]() hmm, interesting point.
also at WOT, the car is accelerating forward, so the fuel will be forced to the rear of the tank and upward, thus causing the leak if that o-ring is not sealing. I'll definately have to check that.
