New IP & Injectors!! + Fuel Leak

I replaced my injectors alone with my injection pump on Sunday and boy it made a HUGE difference. The truck had 225k miles on it and it was the ORIGINAL pump! How I was able to drive it everyday beats me but that's besides the point.

I have a fuel leak from the steel line that goes from the fuel filter to the pump itself. Looks like there are rubber gaskets that go on these lines and the ones that are there are messed up. Is there any way of repairing these? Does anyone have one I can buy off of? Where can I buy it?

Thanks,
Joshua

Those are called "olives" here. If you change the subject line of your first post to something like "Where can I get new olives for my fuel line?" I'm sure someone will chime in...

crazy how these things just keep running.like crap with low power lol,but they just keep working.bad thing is,we don't feel the loss of power because it happens so slowly over the years.this is why every 100k it's advised to swap 'em out,to keep the engine running like new.

I heated them a little and used a pick. When installing i put them on the line then push line into fitting then push seal into fitting then push brass nut on and ntighten. I have seen people try and stuff them into brass nut first and it didnt work so well
