Thread: TD5 fuel cooler o-ring headache

Hi Gillie. I've come to hate the sight (and smell) of that tell-tale green stream. Hope you get yours fixed OK.
cheers

Hi Tombie. Definitely greased with O-ring lube. I've done a temp fix, using plumbers tape under the old O-ring to lift it and get a better seal, until the new repair kit I have ordered arrives, hopefully Monday. Seems to be holding for now. cheers

Hi Gillie. I followed your advice and purchased a fuel cooler repair kit from the Roverlord site from your list. Thanks for the tip.

The proper tool for undoing the hose clamps and redoing them back up is only about $20 from UK.

Are you trying to fit it dry? Or greased?

Hi Gillie. Yes, my O-rings are 2 1/8 inch OD.
cheers

Thanks Warren9981. Any idea what the tool is called, to help UK ebay search. I suggest "world's most frustrating clamp".

This is the tool you need.
