So, my wife bought me an ebc for christmas and it said to splice a vaccum line into the fuel pressure regulater. So like a dumbass, I unbolt the regulater from the rail to access the regulater easier. I decided not to use the ebc because of warrenty issues, so I put everything back together, start up my car and notice a gas smell. I look under the hood and notice a small burbleing of gas coming from between the rail and the regulater, I checked to see if they're tight and they are, but one of them is now stripped, what do I do? please help me !

 

So I pulled the reg off and it was the o ring, Part of it had deteriorated and fallen apart. Subaru wants 8.00 for one. lol

 

Yay for happy endings.

 

Not as happy as I'd like but it's all good. I stripped the driver side of the bolt hole on the rail, do you guys thing I could buy a longer bolt and put a lock nut below to seal it? I really don't want to be ghetto but I think it's too small to re-tap, And I really don't want to buy a new fuel rail right now.
Thanks

Omg, guess when the stupid o-ring will be here?
The end of next week ! Oh well, I guess that's what I get for screwing with my car though.
Here's a pic of the little chingaderra
I ended up going down to my friendly neighborhood ace store and picked up an o-ring for .30 cents instead of waiting a week for an 8 dollar "subaru" o-ring
