Default B&M fuel pressure guage leaks

I installed a B&M fuel pressure gauge on my GSR about a 3 weeks ago. While i was driving i would smell gas, but i thought it was just the testpipe acting up, but the smell would get really strong from time to time. I popped my hood and saw that there was dried gas along the top of the bango bolt that holds the gauge on top of the fuel filter.

So i re-installed the gauge using teflon tape, and it still leaks, but not as much. What should I do now?

Make sure the teflon is secure and tighten it more.

yea are there any alternatives to the b&m gauge? I am installing a skunk 2 manifold so i figure as long as everythign is apart, i would install a stainless fuel line and ditch the gauge.
