Hello Marauderites:

I have a Jaspar 4.6 re-manufactured engine in my 2003 Marauder. The original engine was poorly rebuilt in 2013 and due to the mechanics closing the shop after 40 years of business I was unable to locate them thus no warranty, nothing! Nevertheless, the engine finally died with a horrible engine knock in 2015 and I finally decided to heck with it, I'll go with my new mechanic's recommendation of the Jaspar engine.

So far so good, but there seems to be a fuel leak coming from the hose near the fuel rail. Can someone give me the proper name of this hose? It looks like someone modified it during the original rebuilt and somehow after looking at other Marauder engine images, this hose looks not like the others. I'm trying to locate or figure out a remedy to cure this small gas leak. It happens now and then as I believe the mechanics that closed shop put this on as a quick fix. See pictures.

How is that NOT pissing out all the fuel??


It's really not "replaceable" to my knowledge. It can be modified in several different configurations with fittings from summit. I believe there is also high pressure fuel line repair kits that will work at most auto part stores, but nothing plug and play.

I wouldn't drive the car like that , at least get some fuel injection clamps , until you can replace , or repair that section of hose coming off the steel fuel line.

If one of those worm drive clamps fail , or loosen up you have an instant barbecue!

What everyone else said, unless of course you have it insured for more than it's worth.
