Default Weeping from the Banjo connections

Hi Guys,


Hopefully some kind person can help here?
On the rebuild of the fuel filter I have some weeping from one of the Banjo connections. I have replaced the fibre washers and I do believe the problem lies there but is there anything else that you lot use instead ?


BTW- I am no further forward with the loss of power and this latest problem is holding things back.

yeahh, you need to find a way to tighten it even more, it's always a problem.

try a light film of Hylomar on each side of the fibre washer?

by the way,
I always use two wrenches, one on each nut of each banjo connection, it works best. you tighten one away from you, and the other one towards you.
