How do I replace fuel line compression fittings?

Answer by  Joe1010us (239)

Most compression fittings must be replaced if a slight tightening wont fix the leak. Once a compression ring is tightened on the tube it cannot be removed. If tightening does not work, a section of the fuel line must be removed in order to piece in new fittings.
