Forgive me for buying a Haynes manual rather than a Harley one. Can someone tell me the torque values for the fuel connection and dummy plug on a 2002 fatboy fuel injected tank. I replaced both o-rings but still have a slight leak. Should there be anything put on the threads prior to installation ?

Thanks. Johnv

 

John,

Do you mean you replaced the large o-rings that seal the plug and line assembly to the tank? They shouldn't leak even if you just tighten them. H-D literature i have says 22-26 ft lb for the fuel valve adapter and for the plug.

Are you certain it's not leaking from the o-ring that the line to the throttle body seals against. That's a far more common leak than the o-rings that seal to the tank. Good luck.

 

Thanks Ed, I think my problem started when I used Teflon tape on the threads. The small o-ring in th fuel disconnect was in there.
