If that fixes it, give consideration to doing the Hutch mod for even more improvement.

I was not able to get a perfect seal and there was a pretty good fuel leak as I was taking the pressure tests. It would change every 5 seconds between clear fuel and what looked like beer foam. Back and forth, fluid, foam, fluid, foam, fluid, foam, etc.
Ford's design on the quick connects deserves the Dunce Cap award IMO.
