2010 caravan has a leak from a fuel line that is visible coming down from the top of the fuel tank at the rear and at this point there is an elbow connector , it is leaking here ( quite significantly ).
Anyone else had this ? I have searched and have found no other cases. it is a nylon line connecting to another nylon line . Maybe the o ring in the connector is deteriorated ?
I can find no replacement parts, I am assuming this line goes above to the fuel pump.
I can find no repair kits that are compatible . Any ideas what to do with this ?
Thanks for any suggestions

The details on the lines are kind of hard to see, but here’s a couple diagrams of the fuel tank area. Are you able to highlight/circle the connector you’re talking about?

 

Actually, I was looking at it wrong - it looks like ( in the second diagram ) the line on the left (drivers side ) going over and down the front of the fuel tank, when it reaches the level of the bottom of the fuel tank there is an elbow and a connection. The leak is here.

 

Is this the type of fitting you have? The only things I can think of causing a leak here would be the o-rings being damaged/degraded (as you suggested), the fitting coming loose for some reason, or the line being broken/damaged.

Other than visual inspection there’s not really any way to determine why it’s leaking, so you may have to disconnect it to inspect the o-rings. Wear safety glasses and/or rubber gloves when you do because even a depressurized line can spray fuel when it’s opened up.

If you can, post a picture if you don’t see anything obvious.

 

It is similar, it has a slightly different retainer, I will try to get a picture. I had already tried disconnecting it and re connecting, it leaks as before. I couldn't see if there is a damaged o ring in the fitting.
