I tried my fuel line from the tank to the firewall and it leaked at the shutoff valve. I had just replaced an injector in a tbi system and had a plastic washer/gasket left over and tried it. It worked great and then I noticed the connection at the firewall to the sediment bowl was leaking. I went to the parts store and got another plastic washer and it worked on it. I assume the the flares aren't correct but they looked pretty good. Steel line FLARED not the ferrules.
