Default Corvette fuel filter/regulator leak problem

For those of you that have used the Corvette fuel filter/regulator for their LS swaps, did anyone have a problem with the push-in connector on the outlet end leaking?

I got most of my car wired up last weekend and was as giddy as a school girl when my PCM actually turned on the fuel pump like it's supposed to when I had a leak which dampened my enthusiasm.

I thought maybe that it was one of the hose ends that I put on the PTFE lined braided stainless that I'm using but instead it was the adapter that pushes into the outlet (to engine side) of the regulator.

If I don't have any sideways pressure on it AT ALL, it doesn't leak, but as soon as I wiggle it or the braided line moves a bit, it starts squirting out.

This is what I have:

The component in question is the one on the left.

FYI, the blue fittings that come with this kit are the better horse-shoe style, they just haven't changed the picture.

So, I don't know if it's the regulator side of the connection that's bad or if it's the adapter that goes from push-lock to -6AN.

Today, I bit the bullet and bought another regulator and that adapter from a different supplier, just to narrow down the possibility of finding the same problem again. Speedway's kit evidently uses an edelbrock adapter so I ordered the Russel one from Summit today.

Anyway, has anyone else had this issue or did I just get some bad parts?

Probably got some bad parts with my luck. I found out my Dakota Digital VXH brain box was DOA after I installed it this weekend as well.
