Default 97 ram 1500 fuel line leak at plastic fuel rail connection

I have a leak where my fuel line inserts into my plastic fuel rail. No quick disconnecton this year just o rings on the fuel line into the rail and a safety clip with prongs that goes over the line.


does anyone have a photo of the orings that are supposed to be on there? I’ve read posts where there is 2 and I’ve seen 3. I pulled the fuel line off before and didn’t notice it there was 2 or 3.


I have one black one and one white plastic oring on there now and it will leak and spray everywhere if the line is moved at all while in the rail.

The fuel rail assembly on my '96 Ram 2500 with the 5.9 magnum engine is all metal. The metal is thin, but its all metal for sure. After so many heat cycles, I suspect that the heat warps a plastic fuel rail over time (over 20+ years). Can you possibly find an all metal replacement?
