what to use on leaky fuel line.

I've got a leaky fuel line on jcb, its a pita to change so need to bodge ut until I can swap it. Would denso be enough to stop the leak? Any suggestions? Its only a tiny leak.

You could try self amalgamating tape but the diesel may attack the tape. The trouble will be that nothing will bond well if there is any oily residue present. A piece of soft rubber and cable ties or similar may do it - no idea how big the fuel pipe is:confused1:

I recently used "quicksteel" epoxy on a diesel line with success.

Cleaned it up with brake cleaner, gave it a quick rub with some scotchbrite, slapped it on and: happy motoring!

Short term fixes are a pita! Do a proper job then it is done and forgettable!

I agree, the time spent cleaning is better spent fixing. The only gear worth a toss for plugging a gusher is the dammitx product. A quick wipe and slap it on.

 

Expensive but effective.
