Ford 3000 (gas 3 cyl, 1966) Fuel Leak

[davka]

This is a great running tractor but today it started spewing out gasoline at the area indicated by the RED ARROW on the photo.

The metal line snakes around from the other side of the tractor up to the area indicated by the arrow. Can anyone identify the parts in the leak area as well as suggest what the problem is and how to fix?

Thanks! I love this tractor, have had it since it was new and want to keep it in good running condition.

Either the fuel line or fitting has failed. You will have to disconnect the line and determine which it is.

That looks like a brass fitting screwed into the pump. I doubt that cracked. Most probable cause would be vibration either loosened the fitting at the end of the hard line, or vibration caused a crack in the pipe right at the fitting.
If it’s still tight, then I’d say you probably need to remove and replace the hard line.
