If that were my KK id probably seal her up. But if I were you id buy a new fuel rail at the dealer level, not an aftermarket or used one. |

From your photo it looks like the problem could be the connection from the rubber fuel delivery hose, rather than the metal fuel rail itself. Can't totally see that connection because something is in the way, but a cracked rubber gasket at the connection point is more likely than a cracked metal fuel rail, IMO. Should also be cheaper to fix too. |

I went out to my Jeep to check, and confirmed my suspicions. You are missing some sort of clip that holds the high pressure hose tight onto the fuel rail junction. It's not a very good photo because I took it in the dark, but...

Wonder if I can grab a new clip or if I'll need to redo the connector. Thx dude! |

Lfh, not sure if its an 08 KK thing but mine doesn't have that either. OP, idle the jeep and look for the seeping point. Replace part thats seaping. If it seaps right at the quick connect press it into the fuel rail. Still leaking, replace. |

Its a bit hard to tell because of the steel mount for the rail just below, Seems to drip and pool there. I'm a bit worried its the rail itself. Any idea where I can get the barbed connection piece that specific to the rail? I'm assuming there's o rings in there that go bad? |

Just an update here, Removed it all between another connect in the engine bay running towards the rail. Rail looks great! Replaced the hose and fitting and everything looks good. Probably wont know for sure until I start it again on a cold morning which wont be for awhile here in Phoenix. |

Glad to hear it was an easy fix. Hopefully that did the trick! |
