Legacy BP, fuel pump hose connection leaking
Hi guys,
I need some advice on the fuel pump outlet connection on Subaru Legacy 4gen.
About six months ago I replaced the fuel pump after the old one basically crumbled apart while I was changing the filters. I installed a second-hand pump with new filters and meshes and reconnected the hoses, but since then I am having a persistent petrol smell.
The outlet connection on the pump seems loose. At one point the hose fully disconnected and the car started leaking petrol when I turned it on. I reattached it, but it still appears to drip slowly.
The plastic outlet and the O-ring style retainer don’t seem easy to replace, so I’m not sure what the best fix is.
Does anyone know a reliable solution?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: added the car model to be clear
