What the Hey! 900

posted by  someone claiming to be hillbilly on  Sun Mar 20 13:25 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Changed the oil on my wife's 91 940 today. I'm a old 240 man man, but I got a good deal on this car last summer, and we've been happy with it so far. After the service I was running the engine, looking for oil leaks, and basically admiring the B230F and pondering what few changes between it and the 240. I'm standing there and suddenly I notice a drip of gasoline coming from around the fuel pressure regulator. Sure enough, the O-ring where the regulator slips onto the manifold was leaking...a steady drip. How long? I ask my wife and she say's that she's smelled fuel a few times lately, but thought it was because she had just gotten fuel. This part (if you're familiar) is securely bolted in place, and it is odd that a leak would suddenly develop. Anyone ever seen this before? All of the parts (and installation) look "factory". Where can I purchase just this (1) O-ring? I took it apart and coated it with some silicone gasket material and the leak stopped (for now), but I'm in no way satisfied with the fix. Thanks for the response.
