Merc 4 Stroke Leaking Gas


Juan Grande

Recommended Posts

Guys,

I'm hoping the wealth of knowledge in this forum can help me out. My father-in-law has a 2003 60hp Mercury 4 stroke EFI. When he starts the motor, gas leaks out of the silver valve in the middle of the top pic below. Must be part of the fuel pump.He just had a bunch of work done on the fuel system two years ago, so he wants to make sure it's not something simple before bringing it in. Any insight would be much appreciated.

That looks to be the fuel pressure regulator and yes there should be a hose connected to it. I would guess that the hose is laying in there somewhere tucked under or behind something. Guessing its the return line since the engine will actually run without the hose thats supposed to be hooked to it is not on. There are free downloadable repair manuals on line so you can look and see how and where everything is supposed to go. Good luck!
