daveo132 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hi all, I just installed the z1 fuel port, which is about as simple as things get. However when I prime I've got fuel spraying out from between the OEM regulator and the Z1 fuel port. I've got everything tightened down as much as possible and the o ring feel like they snugged into place. Why would this be? It doesn't really make sense to me. The only think I can think is that the mount of the regulator is slightly bowed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Nevermind, got it figured out. The o ring split so I need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo132 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Tell me about it, watching all that fuel spray with the price of fuel at the moment Not fixed yet, got to order in a new o ring but the postage was like 3 times the price of the part so dropped an email to @Coz@TORQEN to see if he can help with that.

Willsy1980 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 You should be able to pick up an O ring from a Halfords or plumbing place should be loads on the shelf at both. On the subject, a guy I know does work for an Audi dealer, one O ring was £145 from Audi, it HAD to be used for warranty purposes, the identical ring from a regular supplier..... 49p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
