A month or so ago I installed a Moyer polishing filter between the fuel pump and carburetor. All was well. A couple of weeks ago I decided to do one more check just to be sure. All looked well. I felt around the various hose connections. All were dry except the fuel pump output hose connection. Smelled my finger. It's fuel. Can't see it but it is leaking. No dripping. The fuel evaporates before it forms a drop.
Tightened the double clamps as much as I dare. That slowed it down but it is still leaking. Tried a bit of permatex #2. Made a mess but didn't work.
Access between limited to impossible. My back muscles go into spasms just thinking about trying to get back in there with tools.
I would like to try one more time to seal the leak externally by putting something around the hose where it meets the barb and not have to take the hose off. Any ideas what to try next? It needs to be rubber friendly but fuel proof.
