So I installed my new fuel return line kit from Conestoga this afternoon with rather bad results Please someone tell me where I went wrong. So I started by removing all clamps on the lines followed by removing the caps IP line and Fuel Filter Line etc. Next I removed the old O rings using a pick, I may have scratched a few with the pick not terribly but there may have been some contact. Next I cleaned up to what I thought was enough with a green scotch pad below the bottom O ring because there was a little rust and again same story above the upper O ring. Next I installed the new O rings with a small amount of petroleum jelly. Then the return lines were mocked up for both sides and installed. I did not lube the inner portion of the plastic caps. wasn't sure if I was supposed to do so. I was trying to be careful not to contaminate the fuel system. Hopefully someone can tell me where I went wrong because I have multiple leaking caps. I suppose ill take this one as a learning experience because this end result in the video below. No sure if its a bad rough idle or just really loud because in-between this repair I cut the muffler off and haven't added back any more pipe. Now its just dumping under the bed.
