Yeah, I am thinking it may be that one. I wonder how fun it is to replace.
It has the blue thingamajiggy that goes in it and it was seated correctly and in good shape. The connector snaps on securely but it's still leaking. As you can see in the video, if I put pressure on it the leak stops.
I just can't believe I didn't smell it while driving around.

I've never pulled the one on my pump. I'll look when I get home in a few hours, but under the hood. There is the internal keeper and below that is a o-ring.

Yeah some of them have the blue retainer, some have the little red c clip. I will find out tonight what bitch it is going to be to pull. I think the line is just worn out after 10 years, it doesn't have the slot for the little red C clip and that line has not been messed with in three years so I am pretty sure it in intact, just leaking.

Yep, the pump stills makes enough pressure to maintain 60psi whil driving or cranking but after shutdown the pressure bleeds off. I am glad I caught it and didn't have to use my new fire extinguisher,

My guess is that over time the fitting just gets worn and can't hold on tight enough. If it had popped off I could see something disappearing but it is clipped on tight, it just leaks. Mazda actually recommends replacing these lines at the engine and not reusing them. Although they don't do that when they install a reman,

O-rings just go bad over time. Or the constant pressure might have stretched out the little keeper.
Good lock with the fix, that's a bad spot to have a fuel leak.
BTW nice build.

WTF man ?!?!?!?! HITH did you not smell that? It's the same one I need to replace and you're damn lucky given my own recent experience ... https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-...-handy-247871/

Looked like a sprinkler system gushing out there. It had to be running out on the ground.
I'm hoping the tank doesn't have to be dropped, but am not sure. That's why I put off replacing mine until after the National Championships in two weeks. Mines not leaking though, just had to make a cut & clamped hose seal in the plastic fuel line section per the linked incident thread. Your car should stay parked until that gets fixed. Charles/BHR mentioned he had a new fuel line. You should hit him up.
