Leaking Fuel Solenoid
Put my nitrous kit on today and intially it was spraying fuel out by where the line connects with the fuel solenoid. So I took the solenoid off, took off the fitting and re sealed it with thread sealer and got it as tight as I could. I then tested it again and no spraying. So was driving around to make sure everything was ok then popped my hood open to check the solenoid and it seemed fine. I touched the fitting with my hand and it was wet with gasoline. I think its leaking wear the hose connects the fitting not where the fitting goes into the solenoid but I could be wrong. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix?

well, what i would do is have someone rev the car some while you stood outside and visually inspected the problem while the car and fuel system is under a load...see if that helps

I would pull off the sol. take off the line and fitting check and clean the threads and reseal and tighten everything down once more. I would not feel safe until everything stayed dry. You can check for leaks at idle as the fuel pressure is the same no matter what rpm.

went to jegs today and bought a new AN fitting. Put the new one back on and it has no leaks at idle. I will test my nitrous today and see how everything goes. Thanks for the help.
