The latest. If not for N8DC I would still be wondering. Anyhow I had to fix both the main fuel line and the return line by installing a new o-ring. N8DC (dave) supplied me with great info and pics. I will at a later date post these pics with deminsions and give Dave all the kudo's with hopes it will help the next guy/gal that has a major fuel leak.
Thanks Dave
I dont suppose you have had time to come up with a part number or size? Last week Mine did the same thing, rode it to work fine, rode it home and smelt fuel but it was just like seepage(because it wasnt running), went to ride it to work the next day and the leak was like a faucet. Now I'm gonna have to search also for the "elusive" oring ....LOL
not sure where you got that part number from, but I have the 08 parts manual and harley does not sell just the oring for the fuel supply line quick disconnect. they dont even have a part number for it. You have to buy the entire piece that goes inside the tank with the quick disconnect attached. I just need the size of the oring that is inside the quick disconnect. im thinking maybe you are confused about which piece I am asking about.
I clearly stated where I got the part number from......my '06 touring parts catalog.
I did not say whether MOCO sold it separately (or what models years it would or would not fit).
.....I just gave the number (as requested) from a HD parts book (with pictures even).
BUT, you gave the wrong part #. The one you gave is for the check valve or petcock adapter TO the tank. The one they are looking for is INSIDE the check valve and IS NOT available seperatly or described in the parts manual.
In a pinch an 11105 drain plug o-ring will seal, its a little small but does work.
THANK YOU HOG DOC. Assmark....your attitude is not needed nor appreciated, especially when you obviosly didnt read the post to see what part I was even looking for before just spewing part numbers, So, when I told you that that was not what I was looking for, you respond with attitude? as for pics??? I didnt see any pics in your post. just the pic of your bike.
I was trying to be helpful, you asked where I got the part number.
I posted exactly where I got the number in my original post.
Then after being corrected.....I apologized for the inaccurate information.
As for pics, I meant the pic in the parts catalog....the number I gave is in fact an O ring (the only O ring shown in the parts book). I was unaware it was incorrect.
So.......if it makes you feel better with your little name calling (assmark)......have at it.
I hope you find what you are looking for, have a great evening.
Maybe, by me saying "not sure where you got that number from", I was refering to "where in the catalog did you get the number from"...I can put up a part number for a rear wheel bearing when someone asks for a inner cam bearing if I wanted to, but that dosent mean its the right part number.. I am not an idiot, I obviosuly know it came out of the parts catalog like you said, but that dosent mean it is right...obviously. I knew it was wrong, because I know that harley DOES NOT have a part number for this oring, nor do they even show it in a picture breakdown. I guess I should not have answered back to your original post and let anyone else who did a search for the same part find this post and purchase a useless oring...As for the name calling, as funny as it actually is now that I see it, I REALLY did not even mean to do that...I jsut type to fast sometimes. I do appologize thanks for trying to help.
