Is it coming from the adapter or the line fitting? I had to tighten then heck out of my adapter to get it not to leak. Also the oring wasn't a common size, your sure it was the right one? I put a little fatter one in and mine leaked. why not just take the dual fuelers off since you won't be pulling with that truck anymore.

i'm gonna be taking them off but its so damn cold out right now and i dont have a garage to work on it in my hands go numb after a few minutes so i'm just gonna remove it all when we have warmer weather...i'll go to the dealer and get the exact oring for the FPRV that way there i'm not fishing around looking for one

If I remember correctly when i put the dual cp3 on my lbz you dont use an oring on the adapter fitting on the back of the driverside fuel rail.

Dads truck leaks right out of the top of the drivers side rail @ the pressure relief port. Had to install a catch can to keep from dumping diesel everywhere. It has a PPE Dual Fueler also.

If its leaking out of the port then the issue is either..... The fitting is not tight enough, the seat on the fitting is damaged or the inside of the rail is damaged. You should NOT have ANY leaks with our kits....

This is on the black truck. I think it has 8000 miles on it. It started leaking a while back. I hadnt touched it since it left the shop. Tore everything down and all was good and tight, reinstalled, same problem. :confused:

Had a customer with LBZ puller had this leak. Mark at Huckstorf Diesel fixed it for us at the Dyno. Now I have a cust in TN with the same prob, but he can't get his to stop leaking. Anyone sell the fittings? I don't think PPE wanted to sell him one today when he called.

He bought kit from Creatures. I believe they are in contact with PPE and having a fitting shipped out. His rail could be messed up, but we won't know until he tries another fitting.
