Fiesta PAS pipe nut

hi

are you referring to the nut which screws into the pas pump ?

if so do you mean one of these ?

and also if you do then they are a one time only deal. there is a one way clip which is impossible to get too, and once there on the hose they are a nightmare to get off, you'll need to cut it off the pipe which infact can damage the pipe., as when I've seen it on for example a fiesta st. the pipe is obsolete. so it's even worse if the pipe can't be renewed. , it also clicks on it from the front not if that makes sense , whenever I do the pas pipes on Ford's I route the hose first the screw in the connector into the pas pump , so it's nice and tight , and the last thing I have to do is click it in and fill up the res of course.

Yes, that's the one. I've assumed that I can't get it off, and have left the old one where it is. I was wondering if there's some trick I haven't thought of yet. And why I can't seem to buy the seal on its own. :-) I've an idea I might be able to do it by shortening one of the nozzles from a filler gun refill, and using that as a pilot, but I haven't compared the sizes yet.

Possibly

Not much cheaper than buying the whole thing.

Or taking the part number from the second Ebay listing Google

Ford Seal 3518119

That's great, thanks. I expect my search terms were too specific to find what may be an item that fits several models. I'd considered using PTFE tape (something I've learned to love); but for a fiver, it's probably worth getting the right thing first time.

it's been a while since iv done the pas pipes on a fiesta so remembering what to do takes a while , now there shouldn't be a seal inside the pump or any extra seals unless it's the white seal on the thread of the connector (sometimes there blue) . I have come across it when someone has put a seal on the pas pipe to hide a leak.? and later for me to fix it , it can throw you Abit thinking the seal is ment to be there but it's not all the sealing is done by the connector. I don't use ptfe tape as the connector should be slightly tapered so it self seals. I have only come across it once where it's a straight thread. sometimes the most simple things can cause issues. when your not exspecting it to be like that. I was trying to remember how I removed the connector from the pipe and I used a hack saw one of them small ones , it took me best part of 2 hours as I didn't want to damage the pipe , which i successfully didn't. but it was better then not being able to get one at all. safe to say the customer was very happy ?

Okay, thanks. I've ordered the seal, and will do it 'by the book'. It's hard to see how it all seals; but if the nut is tapered, then I guess that explains it.
