z1 fuel port leak

[daveo132]

Hi all,

 

I just installed the z1 fuel port, which is about as simple as things get.

However when I prime I've got fuel spraying out from between the OEM regulator and the Z1 fuel port.

 

I've got everything tightened down as much as possible and the o ring feel like they snugged into place.

 

Why would this be?  It doesn't really make sense to me.

 

The only think I can think is that the mount of the regulator is slightly bowed...

[daveo132]

Nevermind, got it figured out.

The o ring split so I need a new one.

These things are sent to try you.

And it was a simple fix happy days 

[daveo132]

Tell me about it, watching all that fuel spray with the price of fuel at the moment 

Not fixed yet, got to order in a new o ring but the postage was like 3 times the price of the part so dropped an email to @Coz@TORQEN to see if he can help with that.

Well I did have a case full of them and now I've missed placed . old age .

Hope it all comes good 

[daveo132]

haha, always the way.

Looks like this is all it is, so will get a new o ring and should be back on the road

You should be able to pick up an O ring from a Halfords or plumbing place should be loads on the shelf at both.

On the subject, a guy I know does work for an Audi dealer, one O ring was £145 from Audi, it HAD to be used for warranty purposes, the identical ring from a regular supplier..... 49p

Plenty new O rings are in stock if you get stuck.

Just typical dealer pricing. I honestly don't know where they make it up from.....

I don't know why I didn't think about Halfords.  Must be the heat mixed with the petrol fumes 

Will take a walk up there later today.

That is a nice collection 

Thanks for the offer but I should be sorted in the morning.  Halfords didn't have them in the store but ordered online for delivery tomorrow.
