Need help ASAP with fuel line leak

I am using the Wet NX kit and I am having some trouble with the fuel line...


The tee that connects to the Braided line that connects to the fuel solenoid is leaking at the tee. It looks like it is coming from the top of the thing that screws in on the steel line (where the line and the connector thing are crimped). When I try to tighten the line to the tee it just feels like it comes loose again and then tightens a little and then comes loose.

I have used teflon tape on all of the threads and it still leaks, I have also gone and purchased new nippes for the tee and they still do the same thing.

If you could offer ANY assistance please do so.

If you have AIM please IM me, my sn is zeff789



Thanks in advance for any information,

Jeff

jeff, i gotta say your an idiot man, ive told you this 3 times today, but you had to post it anyway?! make sure you seal the threads with teflon tape (thats not your main problem). next, inside the connector, notice how the SS is loose and can swivel? put a washer in either side of the connector, so then when you tighten it, the washers compress, and keep it from leaking out the ends of the SS connector. make sure you get the right size so it doesnt restrict fuel, and dont leak fuel on anything hot...

did you strip the thread on the lines??

if not paste works better in filling the little cracks.

we stoped a nitrous leaks from the same area you describe on the nitrous line.

he didnt strip the lines because as he mentioned to me, he tried a couple different pieces of line to make sure the line wasn't defective... havent talked to him yet today but hoping he got it running

I had the wrong kind of fitting to go into the SS line, i took the line to a hydrolic place and they got me the correct fitting..no leaks now at all. Only thing now is the nitrous solenoid wont click! the fuel solenoid works so I know it isnt the switch (which is badass :P). I was thinking maybe the wiring to the nitrous solenoid, so tonight I am going to re-crimp everything. If the solenoid is broken, I'm going to be ****ed!
