Fuel leak at AFPR

[temfate]

Well I just installed my AFPR finally that's been sitting in a box for almost a month. I used 1/8th NPT brass hardware from homedepot to rig it to the stock fuel rail flange (credit goes to Tallen).

Anyway, one of the fittings (right at the connection to the AFPR from the fuel rail) was just barely leaking gas, I tinkered with it a bit and it didn't seem to be leaking after that (15 min or so of idling to test it.

So the question is, is there a great chance that when I'm under boost the higher fuel pressure will make it start leaking again? Should I just pull it off and crank on it some more (teflon tape was used)? Or should I boost test it? Is it safe to boost test it!?! As I said, at idle is doesn't appear to be leaking anymore. Any input would help. Thanks...

Im always very very careful working with fuel, since you have an afpr, bump the fuel pressure up 15 psi or so that should have the same affect as 15lbs of boost.

Personally I would go buy some pressure sealing AN fittings.

Gasoline eats teflon tape like the cookie monster eats cookies. That will not seal, nor hold for very long.
