Went to prime the fuel system today and check for leaks... sure enough I have a pretty good stream from one of the fittings. Its a ricks tank, S&P LS camaro fuel line kit, and some braided lines I made up to connect the tank to the filter.

The leak is between the fitting on the supply line of the tank and the -6 male to male connector. I losened it up and retightened with no luck. tomorrow I plan on swapping the -6 connector around. Is there anything else I should try or look at? I did turn the key the first couple times with the supply and return lines swapped, don't know if that would have any effect.

Thanks
Pete

You might try a conical seal. They are available through Aircraft Spruce and Summit.

I swapped the -6 male to male adaptor for a new one, no luck. Seats looked good.

I just ordered some conical seals and new -6 adaptor.
