recently had a bit of an
overhaul on my 4.108
perkins
decided to replace the 40 year old
fuel lines as well as I tried to take the line off at the tank pickup the hose spun around quite easily so I decided to tighten the nut on the flaired
compression fitting could not go any further
took this fitting apart and ground down the nut to make it shorter on the thread and that
solved it I would never have found this defect, and I'm sure it gets overlooked easily since there was no
fuel leakage, but air could get in quite easily
