Re: O2 plumbing leak

Quote: (Originally Posted by Hk101gr) View Original Post
Hi all,

It appears that i have 2 small leaks in my solenoid plumbing following a teardown.

The leaks are coming from the stainless steel pipe where it connects to the bulkhead and the solenoid.

I see these are metal to metal fittings so i probably did some minor damage to them during the teardown hence the very small but annoying leaks.

Does anyone know of a simple and reliable way to repair the fiitings or am i in for a new pipe?

Sometimes just backing them off and retightening will do the trick. If they are truly damaged you should replace the pipe. It would be easy to make one. I don't recall if they are a ferrule or a flare fitting.
If no one responds before I get home from work I will have a look at mine. It's time for some maintenance anyway.
