hey 957Turbo,
I know this is a bit old, but I'm thinking about doing this preventatively and had a few questions for you...
1. When you reattached the fuel fittings back onto the HPFP, did you have to wrap the threads with teflon tape or some kind of thread sealant to prevent the fuel from leaking?
2. When you say JB weld, are you removing the barb, scoring it, applying the JB weld inside the water distributor and on the outside of the barb and then sticking it back in and wiping off the excess from the inside?
Or are you inserting the barb back to the distributor and only applying a dab of JB weld on the outside like your original temporary fix?
Thanks in advance!

I removed the fitting, scored both surfaces(inside and the fitting itself) with harsh sand paper (don't remember the grit). Then cleaned everything off with degreaser, applied good amount of JB weld around the fitting and inserted it back in. I put some cardboard at the back of the hose to keep it firmly in place till it cures. 24h later it was good to go! No teflon tape needed for fuel pump hoses.
