Cheap EFI fuel line Quick Disconnect Fix - Harley Forum

evoKENevo · #1 03-22-2009, 09:28 PM

A friend called this morning asking for a hand replacing his EFI fuel lines. He'd developed a serious leak at one the two the quick disconnections of his '01 Ultra...parts guy at stealership sold him the whole 2 piece $$ enchilada (hoses & all) claiming HD did'nt make any kind of repair kit,etc...I took one look at his shop manual and saw what was involved...picked the old o-ring out of the line connecter from throttle body to tank...matched it up with a new 39 cent 0-ring found in the Metric bin at local Hardware Store...massaged it into the coupler...done deal...
