Question on doing a Fuel leak fix

While greasing the truck I noticed where fuel seeped out around my ? I’m not sure what it’s called, the regulator I think. The hub in between the fuel tanks. So I cleaned it up some and found the point of leaking. It appears to be a real small, pin like seep out of the brass part of the regulator, the place where I circled. Almost thought about putting some jb weld right there but what I’ll probably do is get the new part.

I never worked on fuel lines and fuel fittings per say. But I imagine if I undo those fittings fuel is going to come spitting out right? It’s looks pretty straightforward, undo the fittings and undo the mounting bolts. But anybody got any tips on doing this fix and or what to look out for?

Thanks in advance

 

Yea, got a shut off valve there. I don’t use the driver side fuel tank.

 

Thanks, That’s a good question. It looks like it’s part of the block, but it may not be. I need to clean better and see. If so I may can re dope it like you said. Though it looks like it’s a pin hole leak just beyond the fitting some how or in the weld if the nipple is indeed part of the block piece.

 

Ten4. I see what your saying. I got a ball valve on there to shut off the drivers side tank. I might be able to just take that fitting off and re dope it. Thanks

 

Well since the passenger tank is the only one being used, I wonder which one of these lines are under pressure? Sure would hate to spill fuel everywhere. (Especially if I decide to replace the whole thing, if the fitting doesn’t fix it)
