fuel filter clips HELP

[callum94]

hi my names callum
I have just changed the fuel filter on my corsa 1.2 sxi and the clips were failry easy to pull off the old one. I tried to put the new fuel filter on and the clips just slotted straight on but when I turned the ignition over it was p*****g fuel all over the place I cant stop it leaking no matter what I do. am I looking at a new fuel line or can you replace the end? or is there a tempory fix for now ?

regards
callum

Hi there Callum what type of clips are they and put some pics of ya car and where ya from

[johnny]

Where is it leaking? Front or back side of the filter and did you put the filter on the right way? Petrol can only flow through one way

I think they are the quick release ones they look like this https://twitter.com/callumwalton_s/stat ... 44/photo/1 it wont let me up load a pic of the fuel line so I have put it on twitter with a link. urm I live in blandford forum in Dorset. yeah the filter is on the right way round Johnny and its leaking from the tank to the filter

[johnny]

But where exactly is it leaking at the end of tbe pipe in the pic?

Thats not damaged so no reason for it to leake unless the filter isnt pushed in fully or its the wrong filter

well I even tried the old filter again and its still leaking yeah as you push it in it clicks in place and cant be removed until you push the clips in but where the clip click in it spays fuel out

[johnny]

Can you blow through the filter, wipe it first unless you.like the taste of petrol:lol: if its not the filter its a new fuel line

Don't worry lads I've sorted it the o ring had split so it wasn't sealing properly but thanks for your help anyways

I didn't know the fuel line clips had o-rings in them? I managed to swap my filter over and haven't noticed any leaking, but i only checked while it was idling.
