I've discovered a small leak at the pipe connection to the tank. More of a "weep" than a leak, but enough that I smell fuel in my garage. I've only crawled under the car on jack stands, so I haven't had the best access to it. However, I was able to get a 1/2" wrench on the compression nut and found it to be too big. Before I really booger something up, a few questions:
What size is that nut?
What size is the pipe?
Is there a ferrule on the pipe?
IF I get the nut to move, am I wasting my time trying to tighten the fitting more?
I'm thinking the best fix would be to break the fitting apart, cut the pipe below the ferrule, and put a new ferrule on it. That's assuming I can break the nut loose without damaging the tank connection.
What think ye?
