As i recall thoes fuel filters have that strange flare (the technical name eludes me at the moment) with the o ring on them correct? Make sure the o ring is in good shape or if in doubt just replace them.
oring will do it every time

Did you relieve the pressure at the Schraeder valve? You have to relieve the pressure or the tank will just drain alot.
