HSR Fuel leak

Getting a small leak from the FPR screws, it does not state to put anyting on them like tape so how so how do they keep from leaking? I know it is from the one closest to the firewall and I can feel fuel up around where it threads into the rail, I retightened it but am wondering if anyone used yellow gas tape on the threads.

TIA

Those are blind holes and don't see fuel.
Your leak is elsewhere.

odd cause it is only on one side and I can see the fuel all the way up and down, guess I will have to look at it a little closer

thanks

take a peak at the injectors. maybe the last injector is leaking on the top and running down the rail. Pinching an O ring or a small rear in one will definitly cause a leak.,

I had the same exact problem. Do you have the adj. fuel pressure regulator? If so, that is what is causing it. Some people have had issues of it holding pressure and causing a leak. I swapped it out for a Kirban Performance AFPR and it is now leak free.

I think I got it for $90 and it was from a GN site. Compared to the Holley AFPR, it is VERY nice.
