Help with fuel leaks
I am getting ready to fire up my engine for the first time and so I was doing some pressure testing of the fuel system to make sure there were no leaks. The tank tested fine but I can't get the fuel and return lines to test. I filled the lines with 80 psi of air pressure and watched the gage drop to 0 in about 1/2 hour. I did it again, this time I sprayed a soapy solution on each fitting and found two that bubbled up, indicating a leak. I tightened them but they still leak. We are talking 37* AN fittings of various types here. I know Earl's has new aluminum conical seals available that are supposed to fix this problem. Maybe there is a sealant that can be used, such as a liquid gasket paste or Loctite. What are your experiences and what did you do to fix the problem? I know I can't be the only one that has had this problem. Thanks
