fuel rail

i was relieving my fuel pressure today and loosened the banjo bolt on the fuel rail . after i was finished i tightened back the bolt but i smelled gas and noticed that it was leaking gas around the banjo bolt area on the fuel rail . i dont know but is my bolt or washer bad ?! do i need to replace them ?! because it seems like these are the only things that is making it leak .

if so, could someone tell me what size the bolt/washer is ?! and is the only place i can purchase the bolt/washer at honda or can i buy it at a local hardware store like home depot ?!

1- why were you relieving the Fuel pressure there? all you need to do is open the gas cap

2- how tight did you make it?

3- remove it and reinstall it. make sure that the washer sits properly. tighten it down a lot! if you arent flexing the engine then it isnt tight enough
