    Exclamation VR 3.8L SII Fuel Lines

    Recently I have had a fuel leak from where the hose connnects directly to the fuel on the air intake side of the engine (ie right-side as you face the engine). Is this the return line or supply line??? It doesn't seem to be the hose connection. Is there an O ring near by where the fuel can be leaking from???? ie where the aluminium rail meets the hose connnector.

    I have had this problem as the rubber hose shrink or swell and the factory clamps won't clamp any harder so fuel dribbles past clamp.
    So I bought 6 new jubilee type hose clamps made for fuel injection and replaced all the fuel hose clamps under the bonnet.
    Have to bleed off the fuel pressure in the hoses first by pulling fuel pump relay and fuse out and running engine until it stalls and then replace clamps .
    Fuel will go everywhere if you try to undo hoses with full pressure.
    Here's a picture of the fuel lines with the brake booster removed showing the lines and the clamps I used
