[QUOTE="MG0h3, post: 16612303, member: 164690"] You are correct, Teflon tape or paste isn’t correct for these fittings. Could be a shitty bandaid but your leak isn’t even from there anyways. So the hose side of the fitting has a barbed male end that requires quite a bit of force to install into the PTFE hose. Did mine myself and cranked fuel pressure to 80psi with the engine off for a min to check for leaks. Maybe cheap fittings or hose? Seems strange you’ve got four ends leaking. Guess you could try and throw a hose clamp around it to increase pressure between the barb and PTFE hose but it really is quite a bit of force Unless they didn’t seat the hose all the way but it’ll probably blow itself off. You could slice the outter part of the hose to expose the PTFE to fitting connection and see what’s going wrong I suppose without too much concern. Just don’t cut into the PTFe Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
