I just changed the 2 fuel filters on my 84' 300D. It wouldn't run after so I used the hand pump. But I guess I had to open a bolt to let it bleed. I think maybe I overpumped it because now one of the lines to the fuel injector has a constant dripping leak. The photo below shows where (at the arrow). How can I fix this leak? Can I remove that line and replace a seal there or something? What do I torque it too when reinstalling? Pretty ignorant of diesels but not working on cars in general. Ignore the pointing finger in the pic below please. Thanks!

I took off the line and the "adapater" for lack of a better term, where the line hooks into. After cleaning and using teflon tape, leaking is almost gone. I'm thinking that maybe 2 layers of teflon tape on the threads will stop it 100%. Of course it may stop itself also because now it is only a barely noticeable wetness around the bottom.

Thanks much for the help forced induction. Knowledable folks here!

 

Does anyone know where to find a DIY link to clean the fuel tank? TIA

 

Agreed, teflon tape does all kinds of nasty things to injectors and pumps. NEVER use that around any kind of injection or hyraulic system
