[Vwdiesel] hose to plastic fuel line crimp leaking

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  If it's a regular crimped fitting (rather than a crimp clamp) then do a 
little 
checking at just how it's leaking.  Dad's Passat was sucking air at a crimped 

fitting.  The Passat has a crimped fitting at each end of the pump's clear, 
inlet hose.  Found out it was leaking between the rubber hose and the 
crimp, on the inside of the crimp fitting.  Made sure it was clean and 
worked some JB-Weld in there, let it set up and all was well.  :-)
