solonoid leak help

No matter how much or little teflon paste, i keep getting leaks around the lines at the solonoid. Do i need a higher grade teflon paste or what?

i always use the tefflon tape.... i know they say not to but i only use a little bit and take extra caution to not get any inside the solenoid, and i never have any leaks (knocks on wood).

You can also try using a blue or red lock-tite to seal up the threads. I highly recommend not using tape because it doesn't take much to clog the tiny hole in the jets.
