I have a slight diesel fuel leak on one of my fuel lines. I replaced the manual lift pump and reused the old lines and the line that runs from the shutoff to the lift pump is leaking at the connection to the lift pump. I can't find the line available anywhere, any ideas where to get a replacement. I'm not up on the different types of connectors, can somebody tell me what type of connector that is used on the fuel line, maybe I can make one if I know what type of connector to get. Thanks!

Measure the outside diameter of the line, then go to your local autoparts store, get the same diameter steel brake line, then bend it by hand, and cut the ends off. You re-use the nuts from the old line, and you will need some new rubber olives for the ends. That's what I do because you won't find those new.

You can try using the parts book you will find on line at https://apb.agcocorp.com/ Pages 142 and 144 show you the options of the line between the tank and fuel lift pump. You will need to determine which diesel engine (direct or indirect injection) and tractor serial number yours is, as there are multiple choices.

Part number 189172M91 for tractor serial number 677170 and up.

I had a similar problem on an early 165. The casting metal on the aftermarket pumps is soft and can be easily cross threaded. The connection will look good but will leak. I would double check the connection before replacing the line unless there is an obvious hole in the line.
it is leaking at the connection, who knows I may have cross threaded it. I was assuming the line is leaking at the ferrule, I have the connection turned all the way in. Maybe I should just get some sort of thread sealant if I've cross threaded the pump and probably have ruined the threads.
