Just finished a cam follower replacement. now there is fuel leaking from the banjo bolt on the HPFP. What should I look for?

Dont have the banjo bolt design, but shouldnt you replace the crush washers?

There's actually no crush washer. They are between the brass fitting and the pump housing, the banjo bolt is tapered. At least I know there is none on mine;)

UPDATE: Seems like a non-issue. There's a brass fitting that the banjo bolt connects to. The brass fitting on mine wasn't snug. (rookie mistake)

I couldn't get to the brass fitting with the HPFP installed.. Man I'm getting good at removing that now.

Thanks for the input guys.

do you use a short 17 ?

I don't have one and don't have the heart to chop mine down .. need to go to a flee market and pick up a 17 I can hack .. that is the savior tool. !

I did not use on... That actually may have helped.

Make sure you get that brass fitting tight they are pipe threads

Yeah I snugged it up pretty good.

When I pulled everything off to inspect it, I didnt' see anything that had been cross threaded so I was hoping it was just a loose bolt.

For those that are curious about the torque specs from APR's HPFP instructions

28Nm this is the tightening torque for the assembly of the Banjo or Bamboo-style fuel fitting into the pump only
15Nm low fuel pressure sensor
10Nm three bolts
25Nm Union Nut for fuel line
17Nm Banjo Bolt

That is really good info
