Recurring fuel leaks (not a Pontiac)
I'm having recurring fuel leaks at various locations feeding the fuel rail and injectors on a 1980 Datsun.
The leaks always occur at a hose clamp and can always be stopped by tightening the clamp a bit. The locations vary from injector to injector, to the output of the fuel filter, the input of the rail, etc. No real pattern to it. I find one of these leaks probably 5 to 10% of the time that I run the car. It can go for weeks without any leaks and suddenly somewhere I will find one. I have swapped between injector hose clamps and worm screw type clamps. I now have to check this car every single time I start it for fear that I will have a leak possibly leading to a fire. The hoses and clamps are all new, replaced while I was doing other work on the car and I never had this problem before that. It's standard parts store injector hose. Any ideas?
