The quick disconnect fitting at fuel filter is leaking. Recently, I replaced the fuel filter and found that the new filter has a lot of play in quick disconnect. Also, the connection was leaking. It seems that the diameter of the outlet of the old filter (aftermarket) was slightly larger than that of the new filter (aftermarket too). So I took a small viton o-ring and added it to existing o-rings, just after the plastic ring. Somehow I managed to reconnect the filter and there was no leak for about a week. Today the connection developed a leak again, the quick disconnect fitting was open. I removed my viton o-ring and used a teflon tape to reseal the connection, but this was a temporary solution. I know that there is a repair kit for the fuel line but I need to solve this problem quickly and I don't have time to order the kit. How can I reseal the fitting?
Thanks.
