Hey brother, thanks for the part numbers. This seems to be a common problem and you saved me the leg work of looking everything up. Ordering everything as we speak. Again bro, I appreciate the vid.
Thanks for your video, I believe its just what I needed to see. I knew it was risky buying a 10 year old bike with 474 miles (2010 Street Bob), one owner and as soon as I touched the fuel check valve, it started leaking. I can see clearly the one on the fuel line is dry rotted, I'll start there. If I have to replace the check valve, lower, I know what to buy for that too now! Thanks for the video and ALL the time you saved me finding the right part! Sincerely!
I have a 2005 Road King and I have researched this leaky check valve problem quite extensively, as it happened to me a couple years ago. Back then I too was appalled at the prices so sought out a more reasonable solution. I ended up doing the same thing, and bought those same Fuel tool o rings to very carefully replace the lower o ring (there is an upper one in there, too). Good luck trying to rebuild the whole thing without the Fuel Tool tool, which costs $100! Anyway, here I am 2 years on and it is leaking again. Not regularly, and not much. It is very slight. But it is leaking and it will no doubt just get worse with time. I have a big trip coming up so I am fixing this once and for all. Turns out you can replace the whole check valve AND the inside the tank pex fuel hose connected to it for only about $30, including shipping. Its a Drag specialties part on Revzilla. In my research I have learned that the 2 pex lines inside the tank, as well as the Fuel pressure regulator housing, can get brittle (ethanol fuel effects on plastics and rubber) and fail and cause lots of problems and even leave you hopelessly stranded. So that's it. Im taking the whole unit out and I am replacing everything inside the tank (except the fuel pump) up to and including the leaky check valve. SO, two hoses, the regulator, housing, check valve and fuel filter. Also replacing the gasket and special screws that seal and hold the top plate down. I Already bought the parts. If you have an older fuel injected Harley and havent thought about whats inside that tank you may wanna get in there and replace that stuff as preventative maintenance.
More Harley junk ! If Harley can't provide a better system , just give me a hose and clamp , like the old days. I'll try the small o-ring first but I removed the check valve from the tank but it looks good . Blew in the check valve hose and it holds air then I pushed in on the valve and air escaped so it seems good . My Road King has two check valves at the bottom of the tank . One is high pressure ( check valve near outside of tank ) and one a return. The return hose is smaller than the pressure hose. If you buy the short hose it won't work for the pressure ( to short) so knowing that will save you money. The pressure hose with check valve is 22" long, return is shorter.
I jumped the gun and ripped out the small o ring from the fuel line attachment first. When I noticed the leak, I popped the fitting off, it was in bad shape. I replaced it, thought I was good to go and still have a leak. Now I need to deal with quick connect o ring.
Hi Great video and description and I have the same problem with my Harley,,,,how does you get the O ring out of the quick release unit on the tank,,,,I have changed the small O ring on the fuel line but still it’s leaking
got it in there with a screw driver and used a socket to push it up.. once it was in the recess groove.. I used a smaller socket that fit inside oring to seat it in the groove nice and tight.. the hardest part was getting all the old oring out.. whole job took 5 minutes
Hello from Russia, guys. Could u please specify if it is quiet manageable to change the o rings by myself? Should the new ones be special, or random no-name o ring will do?
I got my gas to stop leaking with a new o ring i can heat my fuel pump when my harley is on, like the same sound as when the pump primes before turning it on. Is that normal? The motor and bike sound fine, no sputtering or anything like that.
Do you have the sizes of each of the 3 o-rings you changed? I am from Argentina and is difficult to get that on Harley shop. Need to go to another place to buy them. Thanks!
Patience. Ha. You need an o ring pick, a small mirror, and a light helps. The mirror helps you to locate the o ring. Once you find the groove with the pick it comes out fairly easy. Make sure to put a bit of lube on the new one.
In all fairness the title does not say “how to change”. My frustration was with Harley not supplying the o ring so I was showing options. I did explain above in comments how to go about changing.
How do you get the quick release back in. I took it off to get under the tank now I can't get the thing back in there. Do you have to pull down and push the valve up it it or just push it up??

Hey late reply, will this fit a Rocker c. Mines just starting to leak fuel
Hey brother, thanks for the part numbers. This seems to be a common problem and you saved me the leg work of looking everything up. Ordering everything as we speak. Again bro, I appreciate the vid.
Ride safe.
Thank you for the tip on using an oil/transmission/primary drain plug o-ring on the fuel quick disconnect. It worked great.
Saved me a hell of a lot of time. I'm ordering as I comment. Thank you for your help👍🏻

So the answer is to empty the tank?
Thanks for the video! The drain plug o ring fit and fixed the issue. Not surprised Harley won't tell you this or sell the o ring to fix the problem.
It is insane that something this simple is a mystery to them. They probably would not make a big enough profit from just an o ring. Haha
Nice video exactly what I needed to know. Mine just started leaking yesterday. Thank you very much.
Glad it helped.
Ive had a Springer for 30years..NO O Rings Problems There.. What the F is Up with this System!!!? 2015 Harley.. ⛽Leaks fuel on Hot Cylinders 🔥🔥🔥WTF!
High five, looks like some others have used the drain plug rings with success, saves me any further delay since i have a sack lmao. Great info, thx
Oil plug oring didn't work, it's a bit too big in diameter, had to get the corrects oring and it worked
Which o ring do you think was causing the issue?
More Harley junk !
If Harley can't provide a better system , just give me a hose and clamp , like the old days.
I'll try the small o-ring first but I removed the check valve from the tank but it looks good . Blew in the check valve hose and it holds air then I pushed in on the valve and air escaped
so it seems good . My Road King has two check valves at the bottom of the tank . One is high pressure ( check valve near outside of tank ) and one a return. The return hose is smaller than the pressure hose.
If you buy the short hose it won't work for the pressure ( to short) so knowing that will save you money. The pressure hose with check valve is 22" long, return is shorter.
I totally agree a hose and a clamp never failed me yet!!!

Thanks for the tips...
Hi Great video and description and I have the same problem with my Harley,,,,how does you get the O ring out of the quick release unit on the tank,,,,I have changed the small O ring on the fuel line but still it’s leaking
I used an o-ring tool, or pic and a mirror to see up into the fitting. It takes a little patience for sure
I want to see you replacing the O ring in the check valve without the tool
got it in there with a screw driver and used a socket to push it up.. once it was in the recess groove.. I used a smaller socket that fit inside oring to seat it in the groove nice and tight.. the hardest part was getting all the old oring out.. whole job took 5 minutes
Hello from Russia, guys. Could u please specify if it is quiet manageable to change the o rings by myself? Should the new ones be special, or random no-name o ring will do?
Would have been nicer if you had shown how to do it man haha 😅
It was meant more to explain that there are o rings out there that work and you don’t have to buy the entire part from Harley.
I got my gas to stop leaking with a new o ring i can heat my fuel pump when my harley is on, like the same sound as when the pump primes before turning it on. Is that normal? The motor and bike sound fine, no sputtering or anything like that.
Do you have the sizes of each of the 3 o-rings you changed? I am from Argentina and is difficult to get that on Harley shop. Need to go to another place to buy them. Thanks!
Fuel-tool part numbers MC300 and MC600-5.
Is That Rain☔⛈️ Or Fuel Taps Leaking!!!!
Please tell me how you managed to change upper o ring ?
Patience. Ha. You need an o ring pick, a small mirror, and a light helps. The mirror helps you to locate the o ring. Once you find the groove with the pick it comes out fairly easy. Make sure to put a bit of lube on the new one.
How about a video of how to change the damn O ring? (That's what I thought I was going to be watching)
In all fairness the title does not say “how to change”. My frustration was with Harley not supplying the o ring so I was showing options. I did explain above in comments how to go about changing.
@@rustyjohnston3180 exactly!!! The video shows parts only. Not how to do it. That’s about useless !!
I hope this is not a dumb question just learning as I go but do you have to empty the gas on the gas tank to do this?
No you do not.
Robert Mccully thanks man I appreciate it.
@@martinnajera417 lol i was looking through the comments just for this question, i was just about to ask the same thing bout to do mine.
The quick connect is $70
How do you get the quick release back in. I took it off to get under the tank now I can't get the thing back in there. Do you have to pull down and push the valve up it it or just push it up??
Yes, you pull back push the connector in and then release. If that is not working and fairly easy then something may be out of place.
Ciao volevo chiederti se devo svuotare il serbatoio per sostituire le oring? Grazie mille Fulvio
Yes
Did you have to drain the fuel out of tank to take that hose off??
no
Did you drain gas??
No I did not. It is a quick connect fitting so very little has should come out. You will get a little bit when connecting/disconnecting.
u dint show anything
The Harley Davidson store sold me both hoses for $400 Dollars .😢
Can you post sizes or part numbers?
Fuel-tool part#s MC300 and MC600-5
Good Grief. Don't people watch the video?? It is shown at least a dozen times.
I went to my dealer and they gave me a o-ring
You didn't show how to do it!??
Best video ever . Lots of details on this . Hahahahahaha
You did not show how to change out the O rings. All you did is talk about the kits
This vid show's nothing....FFS
Need to be Vinson o rings not water ones. Those will get eat up quickly.
Viton O-rings
have you considered becoming a preacher?
Why do you say that?
What a waste of time here. L!!
This video is useless, you showed in nothing!!
