PSA - Check your return caps before you install them

[mooseracing]

I installed a set either at the beginning of this year or last year. I had a slight leak at the back passenger side, figured I just nicked an o-ring, didn't think anything of it. It's been causing it to die in the mornings now, leaking a little more.

So I got sick of it and bought a return line kit at NAPA, went to swap that corner cap out. I look at it, and go No hole for the fuel to go anywhere in the return system

I wish I would have checked them on install.

So your telling us the leaking cap didn't have a hole drilled in the return port... And I thought I was the person these funny things happen too... Murphy's back making trouble again...

thanks for the heads up, on a side not i have started to wonder if machined aluminum caps could be made, that way the orings would be the only wear item.......

Theres a guy working on brass return caps over on FTE. I don't think he's selling them yet, just made a couple sets to test how they would work.

I think they are $168.00 + $5.00 for shipping.

Who was the manufacturer of the kit may I ask?

Sorry got busy with other things, not sure on manufacture but they were in the kit from Russ, I think I bought them Fall of 2010 or early 2011.

HAd one other not holed. they sent me some extra caps to coverit, and it is fully molded and I told them they need better QC. They said they have less than 10% failure and they are good with that. And they are the best supplier we got.
Guess thats big money marketing for you.

I got a corner cap once where the holes were blocked. I always check now.

Holy crap a 10% fallout is terrible
