wtf a new filter? or i might need a new banjo fitting?

skaternak

try a new washer first and check the thread on the banjo bolt and fuel filter

its not really the banjo bolt. when the fuel line is clamped on its spitting out fuel from the top of the fuel line and banjo fitting.

Try to tighten it down a little more. I have had a similar problem and that has taken care of it in the past.

i got new honda washers and tightened down really hard, got new clamps ( fuel injector ones) and got a new fuel line. lol finally

fuel filter you bought didnt come with washers? -fail

no of course it did..they were the copper ones and i heard that those sometimes caused leaks so i replaced them with the honda aluminum ones.

When I got a new fuel filter for my EG the washer that came with it leaked so I had to go get OEM ones and I was fine.
