Okay, 1990 Audi 100 2.3 non-quattro has a fuel leak at the fuel accumulator. There is a small bit of steel tubing at a 90 degree bend when it comes our of the accumulator and then transitions into the rubber fuel line. Does anyone know how to fix a leak in the "elbow" of the small steel tube? It has a crack and I am unsure where you can find the tube and/or fittings to secure it to the accumulator & fuel line at the other end. Please HELP! Thanks

 

this is the part on one of the outlets is the 90 degree tubing that has the crack in the elbow

Best thing to do is look harder to replace, but if not you have a other option.

JB Weld?

 

yes jb weld would be an easy quick fix ... but the best thing would be to replace the fuel lines ... use some steel braided one high pressure ... you can also use the aluminum ones if you would like ... check your local parts stores for fuel lines or a quick seach on google gave me this http://www.northernautoparts.com/Pro...FRdkSgodpXeBHg

 

Thanks for the input. JB Weld must be the miracle quick fix as you are the 4th person to suggest that including our local Audi dealer!
The problem seems to be in the compression fitting, getting it to seal. I guess that is where the JB Weld will come in. Thanks again...
