Re: need new fuel lines
For the copper washers on the Banjo fittings. Remove them, and sand them smooth. Then using a pair of pliers to hold one, heat it with a propane torch till it changes color, that rejuvenates them and annuls the metal so they can seal. Also make sure that both sides of the banjo fitting are clean and shiney.
