1. Are you using Racor filters or aftermarket filters. Some A/M don't fit correctly.
2. Always lube the O-ring with motor oil, not fuel prior to torqing. Fuel can swell the O-ring and cause a leak.
3. The cap must be fully seated but not over torqued.

thanks guys it ways days later. i use luber finer l4604f fuel filters. another thing i was running wvo. worked great for about 4 tanks of running 100%. it was just a little harder to start. i'm gonna go through the hfcm tommorow to see if the inlet valve is clogged. i was thinking the pick up screen in the tank was clogged so i pulled the tank and it is clean. i'm was just wondering because the pump works just no fuel flow.

I do not think that Luber Finer makes Racor style fuel filters. You may want to stick w/ filters from International - at least replace them this time and see if it resolves the problem. Be sure to fill / purge the system before cranking.
