And if the line itself is cracked, turns out it's easy to replace once you get an copper kit to flare and cut copper.
When you locate a source keeping a full set on board is good insurance.
I have Lehman 120s. Recently, one of the very crooked lines running from the injector pump began leaking through the nut that tightens the flared end to the pump. Brian at American Diesel suggested loosening the line and re-tightening it. Didn't work so I replaced the line with a spare I had on on-board. No more leak. Inspection of the flared end of the line revealed no obvious defect but probably a hairline crack developed not apparent to the naked eye. My opinion, replace the line with original equipment. I keep a set of six on board just in case. Five years ago, just three days after getting underway with our newly-purchased boat, one of these lines fractured having work-hardened as the result of being hard against a hose clamp. Diesel sprayed all over the place but we caught it fairly quickly. We tied up for the night on one engine, replaced the line in the morning, and continued on our way. Our boat came with a full set of six. Never leave home without them.
That’s exactly what’s going on with mine.
Ill start looking for new injector lines.
Thank you

No need to look. Just call Brian at American Diesel. He will have what you need in stock. He will need to know which one. From the front of the engine, the lines are numbered from one to six on the injector pump going to the back of the engine.
I believe the OP is working on a Westerbeke, at least that's what the photos appear to be. 3 cyl. 8KW? Tractor dealer. Westerbeke will be 2 prices.
Also a reminder of how dangerous the fuel pressure in those lines can be, don’t go searching for high pressure leaks with your fingers or any other body part. Just saying.
That’s correct. Tractor dealers will have them? What kind of dealer?
I’d imagine Westerbeke will be expensive.
