Re: Fuel Leak

[Richard Beels <beels@technologist.com>]

He boogered it up, as it's kind of a b*tch to get to the air filter.  I'm 
out of town so I have neither the Bentley, fiche or family album to look at 
for the parts but rest assured, he did it.  Hopefully, someone else will 
pitch in with the proper info.  I'm thinking maybe a crush washer is used 
to seal the parts and you don't want to re-use those.  Do the lines show 
evidence of dismantling and re-attachment?  Might have been done, although 
the usual trick is to manhandle the stuff around....
