See attached video. Had a fuel leak from what I thought was the left hand side 1/2” hose in the going into the fuel valve/solenoid in the boot. Replaced hose and tightened clamps. A couple days later, it’s leaking again. I notice that there appears to be a brass sleeve on the hose nipple of the valve that spins freely, and appears to be the source of the leak.

Is this normal valve behavior?

Repair possible, or just replace?

video attached.

Thank you!

 

nothing should be spinning there, can you post a pic with the hose off to show the sleeve, is the sleeve held on by the pipe flare?

 

That's what I figured. I'll remove it once I get the replacement solenoid and plan to get a picture/figure out what's going on. It's nice that the trunk drain so well, because there will likely be a lot of gas spilled...

 

One of the solenoids (RHS) in my S1 XJ12 went the same way. Leaking at the join between the tube and solenoid valve housing itself. Took me while to find it, but that was it.

Replace good used or NOS from eBay.
