Fuel Leaking Quick Disconnect
I have a question about the O-rings on the quick disconnect fitting. I show there are 2 O-rings on the female half. Some other sites show there are 3 O-rings. 2 on the female side and one on the male end. I do not see one on my male end. Does anybody have knowledge of how many O-Rings there are? I have attached some pictures if that helps.

There are lots of threads about replacing the O rings on the disconnect. Personally, I was happy to pay my Indy $150 for a new disconnect and new fuel line, in the tank. The '03s were prone to developing a leak in tank, anyway.
If if you don't get any answers on this thread, do a search by title. A general search is usually worthless.

There is an oring on the interior of the fitting of the line going to the throttle body at least on my 08. The needle valve is square on the base and pushing it down with a dental pick you can fish it out and get a replacement. I don't have the size off hand...but I did replace it and it worked fine as the high pressure line to the TB was an additional 80 bux or so.
The actual quick connect from the tank was like 80 bux as well I believe from the stealer with new fuel line.
Not too difficult of a job to replace if your inclined.
I did find some replacement O rings at Home Depot for the quick connect as well but I don't remember the sizes and never tested them as I bought the stealer replacement.
You may want to check your in tank fuel lines as well if your doing the job yourself..
They are prone to leaks.
I knew I should've taken pictures and recorded sizes..I just did this job last month.
Sorry..
I'll do better next time.

Thanks for the info. If I am reading this right there are only 2 O-Rings and they are both in the female end. There is not a O-Ring on the male end. I have the part number for the John Deere O-ring that is supposed to work but I have not ordered it yet. I am thinking about removing the tank to get a better view of the O-Ring or taking the tank in to my guy and just having the whole thing installed. My only concern is when I reinsert the male end in that I could damage the new O-Ring. I have never typed O-Ring so much in my life.

There are a number of threads on this relatively common problem, which I had on a low mileage 2011 FXDWG. With patience, good light, and a dental pick the o-ring in the female disconnect can be removed and replaced.
I have the specs on the "correct" o-ring, but, long story short, it's EXACTLY the same o-ring as used in the oil drain plug.

See my post above
Stealer told me the male end/entire hose is a non serviceable part. I was able to get the oring out with a dental pick and replaced it with a similar o ring from home depot.
IIRC once you get the oring out the needle valve will fall right out.
I just made sure the new one was seated in its recess and retained the valve.
No problems so far
