Re: [DML] fuel pump line leaks

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Mike this sort of crush-fitting is used in high pressure hydraulics handling pressures
hundreds of times higher than in the DeLorean fuel system. I reckon the end of the hard
line coming out from the frame probably had some grit on it when you tightened it up.
It's not the threads that create the seal, so teflon tape won't help. Just pull them
apart, and make sure both sides of the fitting are clean, then reassemble.
