I JUST NEED THE LEAK TO STOP FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE I GET MY NEW FUEL RAIL.

ITS A 1995 VOLVO 960 2.9L V6

Answer 1

it might work for a couple of days, but JB weld, even though a 2 part epoxy, does not hold well in situations where it is exposed to gasoline.

Answer 2

NO, get yourself an Asbestos Suit and 1 Big *** Fire Extinguisher.

Answer 3

JB Weld may not hold when it is in constant contact with gasoline. However you can braze your fuel rail and it would be a permanent fix. All you need is a torch and a brazing rod. Very easy to do. If you dont want to do it yourself, take it to your local welding shop and they could do it in a couple minutes. Good luck.

Answer 4

You should be fine.  Little known fact the space shuttle is held together with JB Weld.

Answer 5

If it is on the return side then yes, it will work indefinitely.

If it is on the pressure side, it will probably fail.

I have cut pressure side rails at the leak and sleeved them with with good fuel hose and 2 clamps on each side and had good results for a lot longer than a couple days.

Using high pressure fuel line is the key.

Good Luck!

Answer 6
