Hey, I have seen a similar question, but here goes the saga. My 91 dodge caravan w/3.3L has in the infamous fuel rail leak. I got a hold of Dodge.com, but my year is not included in the recall, grrrrrrr. the local dodge dealer, they quoted me $340.00 for a new fuel rail, an online parts place quoted $255.00 Sorry folks, but for the life of me, i can not see why in the wide wide world of sports this part should cost so much. How can dodge be losing money if they charge this much for parts....Anyway, Instead of bending over and getting the Dodge Ram up my butt, i am gonna try to fix this thing myself. So far, i have taken off the fuel rail (fun) and gave it a good wire brushing, hmmm the thing is aluminum. it also appears, the 'ends' that hold the crossover tube have been soldered in place. Now, do I de-solder and look for replacement O-rings/seals? Do I solder them in place solid and lose the fuel rail flex which may hurt the re-install. Or are their external seals available?
