I have a 1998 Disco that is leaking fuel from the top of the tank when topped off. I pulled the cover off and discovered that the return line was leaking at the quick disconnect connector. I have decided to drop the tank and replace the vent hose, the filler hose, and pump seal. I would like to remove the quick disconnects as well. Any suggestions on what I should replace the connectors with? Thanks in advance...

 

5/16" compression to barb-ed fittings.

 

My connectors were rusted to **** as well.

Just cut the old ones off, find an Oreilly near you, and pick 2 of these:

Dorman® OE Solutions™ 800-120 - Fuel Line Connector | O'Reilly Auto Parts

along with 4 fuel injection clamps (I used 2 per hose).

 

Awesome! I may have my truck for the weekend after all. Thanks!!!

 

Well, I dropped my tank this morning to replace any and all hoses and thought while I was in there just replace the pump motor as well. Dropping the tank was a pretty simple job and like most disco projects, I just put it off to long. What I discovered was that that the previous owner replaced the pump assembly with one from a wrecking yard (hand writing on the pump) and did not install a pump seal. This would explain the leak as well as the P1496 code I would get.

I also noticed that my '98 Disco has a hard line vent hose with a quick disconnect vs. the older models with the larger flex hoses. Everything looks easy to get to with the tank installed so I will reinstall and wait for my new seal to arrive

Thanks for the help!
