Fuel leak (or, this can't be good)

I'm n NC. 65 today but about to plummet. I don't have a heated garage, in fact no garage at all really, so nice to have the occasional day when you can get a bit of work done outdoors even in winter. Talk about your proverbial "shade tree mechanic"! Where are you freezing?

both Brad and I are in alberta where its currently -30C and lower.

65F is a +50c temp change...........luxury

Wow...and ouch. Actually hadn't even occurred to me the 928oc was international! Explains your "parked for the winter"! Well, stay warm, and thanks for all the advice. I'll try to dig into that fuel leak in the next couple of days and will keep you posted.

This is looking out my front door

But when I have trouble I have two experts that I can call for help

Brad I HOPE the experts are not trying to work on the engine on the 911 But in there case WHO CARES just enjoy the effort.

Hey Brad, Malcolm, and all,

Mid sixties (F) in NC today, but again forecast to plummet tonight, so I'm trying to work quickly. The cover was way too easy to remove once I realized it was just that back half, and held on only by two nuts, and the front edge slipped under the front plate. The leak is pretty obvious (unless there's more than one). It's definitely dripping at the connection on the fuel pump (the "S" tube that goes to the fuel filter). Everything feels tight, in fact, I can't get the big cap nut off without pushing harder than I want to. When it does start to turn, the inner nut turns with it. I'm off to the parts store to get a big enough flare nut wrench to get on that inner nut (my collection stops at 17mm). With everything so tight, I wonder if the last guy to replace the fuel pump didn't use new seals. Anybody know the size, as I'm headed to the parts store? I presume they're just standard copper washers, not some special Porsche part. My shop manual only calls them "seals", no size or part number. Can't get one off yet to take with me.

Any chance those two "experts" could come down and lend a hand? I don't care which end they think the engine is in!
