Fuel leak

I created a fuel leak yesterday when I jacked up the motor to change the front mount. It's at the connection to the fuel rail. Does that fitting have an o ring that can be changed or do I need to buy a whole new line?

27635-01A, about $20. It's a kit with o-ring, clip, and screws

I don't think that's what I need. My leak is at the fitting where the fuel supply hose attaches to the fuel tube.

The number I posted is #14 in the photo, is that where your leak is?

I think it's leaking at the other end of # 10, where the line from the tank connects.

There's an o-ring on the tank end as well, right where the fuel line plugs into the quick connect...HD wants you to buy the whole line though. You can get John Deere pn# R26286 or find an o-ring that is .414 inside, .558 outside and a thickness of .072. If it's leaking where that hose plugs into the fuel line going to the rail, try unplugging it and reattaching it. If it still leaks, you might have to buy the whole line, or the tube if it's distorted.

As someone suggested remove and reattach the fuel line on both ends. If it still leaks replace the whole line.
