Fuel line seal for filter head line leading to the injection pump

[Ronw435]

Hey all

I have a question as to where to find the seals on the fuel supply line that goes to the injection pump from the filter housing?

I looked on Rockauto but could not find them.

Thanks
Ron

Hi Franklin2

Well im not sure if they looked like that at one time..lol.. but im not sure if i got one on the line if i would be able to get the fitting threaded back on. But its worth a shot.

Thanks Franklin2

I just bought these for my truck. They are called olive seals, and there are also some on the steel return lines from the IP to the tank. I found a source for viton ones: Look up Parker vibra-lok 60VLV-5 (5/16” size) and 60VLV-6 (3/8” size). Viton is a huge upgrade from the rubber ones. My truck took 2 of each, but I think some trucks only need 1 of the 3/8” olives. I also believe that some trucks use 1/4” olives. Just measure the OD of the steel line and buy the olive in that size. The 1/4” ones would be 60VLV-4. The non-viton ones are a little cheaper, and are what came in the truck originally. They are 60VL series instead of 60VLV, but the size numbers will be the same. I got them from a company called Freshwater Systems, it was the cheapest source I found that had fast shipping.

Also when you install them, don’t go crazy tightening down the fitting. You just need to put some compression on the seal. There’s a torque spec somewhere, but I just tightened them down as if I was tightening a spark plug in an aluminum head (if you know what I mean).

Well i took it for a ride and when i got back it is not the plastic caps leaking it was two return lines. They had some slack in them so i cut them off and reinstalled and the leaking is stopped.

Thanks for all the replys
