Hello,

i have a leak in fuel rail and pin point the location as mention in pic down below. Problem gas/fuel tank have a pressure so i think it was normal.. always smell a fuel from engine bay, then I have replaced the cap thought it was defective , remained same problem, later replaced the purge valve located in intake manifold thinking that will solve the fuel leak... yesterday i was checking vis motor then I heard and saw a fuel leak from a naked eye leaks came from mentioned location. Then i opened fuel cap...leaks stopped!!! What is the problem guys ? What to check next ?
p.s No error codes founded.

Thanks in advance.

There's an O ring (green iirc) in that location, which seals the metal pipe to the plastic rail. There a clip which gets lost too.

Hello Nodge68,

So nothing to do with pressure it self. So the problem only the O ring ? I will find out and will inform you . Thank u

The fuel rail will be at about 60 Psi pressure, but it's designed for that, so any leaking is due to a sealing fault with the O ring.
