Default my AN fittings are a leakin! WTF?

thought part of the reason i spent like $150 in just fittings for this fuel system would be that my fittings don't leak.. 2 of the 10 or so i have arent sealing.. what gives? they are both 90* peices but one is -8 and one -6.. now i gotta go buy more and hope they dont leak.

any ideas?

other than that, i think everything went very smoothly. as you can see in the photos, both fittings on the drivers side rail have a slow drip..

the pumps are twin gss340's good for an easy 500rwhp each at 14 volts. then i went -8 up and -6 return to regulator then stock pressure side line (with new filter) back to tank.

questions? answers? comments? copliments? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> im a good 15 hours and counting into the project, just gotta get the leaks to stop and im golden.

oh yea heres the pics.

Are both sides of the fitting the same? The make two different angles on the fitting: SAE and JIC.
