Default AEM Fuel Rail Leaking ???

I can't get this leak to stop....It's not leaking out of my injectors, it's out of the secondary 1/8 fitting for my fuel gauge...It leaks with the gauge in there and the the plug in there...I was told to use Teflon Tape, but the AEM direction says not to and B&M fuel gauge say to... ???..... YES OR NO ??? And will that make it stop leaking ???

if its installed correctly, it shouldnt leak. is it near the banjo bolt? if it is, did u put the correct amount of washers? i put an extra one and i had a bad leak. is everything tight? are all the o rings there?

It's not on the fuel filter, so the leak has nothing to do with the banjo bolt...AEM rails have a 1/8 fiting for a fuel gauge on the fuel rail next to the FPR...It's leaking out of there, even with the plug bolt that comes with the AEM rail...Rail directions say not to use teflon tape, but fuel gauge says to use it...Will it do an harm and will it work ???

First improper installation

Might wanna try the D1 fuel RAIL...

http://www.datum1.com

Their fuel rail had complaint but it turns out that -- peepz was installing it incorrectly.--

change injectors O-rings.. check clearance-- recommended use is 94+ Acura integra --o-rings. teflon the end and--- you got yourself a non -leaking set-up..

Use some teflon paste on the threads of the guage.
