Hello--
About 6 months ago, I crawled under my '86 tc to change the fuel filter. Since it is / was a michigan car, some of the items under the car have become rusty, including the hardware for the bracket that goes around the fuel filter. After mangling it out of the way (one bolt wouldnt come out), I proceeded to remove the plastic elbow fittings that go onto the filter. I got one off successfully; however, the o-ring that goes into the elbow got messed up on the other fitting (the one after the filter / going to the engine). I found another o-ring that was close, and it lasted about 6 months. But now, it is dripping once every 2-3 seconds. More than what I'm comfortable with.
Should I find another o-ring that is close, or is there a part number I should look up...? Or should I bypass that line all together with a section of rubber fuel pressure line? I wouldn't be against that since the return line already got replaced, and the metal sending line going to the motor is pretty toasty in some places.
