My question is has anyone every replaced the o-rings in the fuel line fittings? If so can you please advise the size of the o-rings and where you purchased them?
I just replaced my 94 Explorer fuel pump and now the fuel line connection at the top of fuel sending unit is leaking. The tube on the sending unit is in good condition and I can see the fuel squirting out from the fitting. I was able to pull the two o-rings out from within the fuel line side fitting. I was hoping to replace the o-rings to stop the leak. I have a o-ring kit with 40 different sizes but none the size I need. I checked with ford for the o-rings and they advised this is a non-servicable item and I need to replace the fuel line at close to $300. I checked with some auto parts stores but they didn't have any o-rings close in size (ford also checked in their loose o-ring stash).
I measured the o-ring and it appears to be a -109 size (5/16 ID x 1/2 OD x3/32 W). I have order some N70 o-rings in the above size from an online site.
