fuel leak
Hey all, I'm dealing with a fuel leak on return side of mechanical fuel pump on my 86 f250 460. PO bypassed the return system. I used a short piece of 5/16" rubber hose between fuel pump nipple and hard return line. It's leaking at connection to hard line. What is the proper way to make that connection? Thanks.

I'd go take a picture to prove you right but it is dark already.
Is the return line rusted through?
Any idea why the P.O. would have done this?
