91 Eco Diesel Jetta issues

They can seep when slightly mis-aligned. When I see a bit of seepage at the coupling, I usually unfasten the nut and ensure the flare is seated squarely in the recess, then hold it firmly in place while putting the nut back in place. Always seems to work for me.

Thanks..  I have already tried that..Maybe my lines need to be changed.

Oh well, the seep isn't that bad anyway.

I've heard a little emery cloth or a file to the edge of the flare fitting can help in such a situation. Probably they were overtightened at some point in the past.

Look for a small burr or ridge on the flare and polish it off if present. It'll probably seal after that.

Thx guys,   Now that I got my truck back I could play with the leak.  I tightened the line even tighter and its seems to have stopped.  I tightened more than I should have IMHO but now its stopped anyway.  I have ordered another set of injector lines in case these leak later and I cannot fix them

Thx agian for your help.
