Ok I found the issue of my gas leak but not sure what the part is or how to fix it...So here are some pics...

Circles area is the part and arrow points to where gas is spewing out.,..

wow that suck... IDK wat to say to help,, hope some else can help,, cant you clean that up real good and put some silicon to it? my guess is no but you never know..

That cuz' is the fuel pressure regulator. The round can part with the vacuum line going into the front of it.

Take it apart and look for an O-ring or gasket... There is no pressure there with the engine off so you won't lose any fuel really.

Stryker you know it will have pressure unless it bleeds off overnight.

hmm wonder if it's just an o-ring..cause it's an order only part around here...

 

[okcjeeper]

would an injector o-ring work for it?

 

[okcjeeper]

Well got it out and some fuel came out but not a whole lot...now is there a way to test to make sure it's working properly cause the o-ring looks fine to me..?

Add a bunch of RTV and duct tape. then zip tie it back on and should work great.

Just called the 2 local JY's that keep XJ's around and neither have them.. Gotta call more and see if I can find one...this sucks..apparently you can't buy just the orings..

I would give em a call or better yet look on their website and search for the part that you need.

 

[okcjeeper]

yeah called all the local parts shops and the o-ring repair kit is a dealer only item, and the dealer of course doesn't stock em and has to order them on a 3-4 business order and a new one costs around $70...the repair kit I can swing but can't swing a new one till payday..this plain sucks..I really need to get a spare car to have around..

 

[BlueXJ]

How much is the whole regulator? They come with the parts for the oring seal and then you will have a spare regulator. Do you have an O'Reilly's because the one here says that they have one in stock.

I have an Oreiley's, Advanced Auto and Autozone about 2 miles fromt he house..

My question is would it be benificial to just replace the whole thing? and having a spare would be nice..seems I am collecting a few spare parts...already have a spare cps I keep in the jeep, along with a belt, upper and lower rad hose, tie rod assembly, draglink assembly and a few other minor stuff.. Oh and the fix all duck tape and rtv..I remember rtving a rad hosing and duck taping it to get my but home once..

 

[Belto]

soon you will be making a new xj just in spare parts... LOL go new.. wth...

 

[muddeprived]

Yeah fix it with a new one. No use in taking chances with used parts.

I think you have answered your own question. Of course it is good to have spares. If not for you then to help a fellow Jeeper to get his junk home from the trail.
