GF 432 Leaks
I decided to replace the existing gas filter in my car. It's a 1968 Corvette with a non-matching 350, Holley 4160 carb. I'm using the stock fuel lines except for one small section of rubber fuel line to the carb banjo fitting inlet. Anyway, I replaced the existing filter with a new one from Ecklers. It leaked fuel from the top fitting. I must have taken it off and re-installed it about 10 times, but no matter what I did it still leaked fuel from the top fitting. I put the old one back on there and it seemed fine so I returned the filter and bought another one on Ebay. I installed that one and it leaked fuel at the bottom fitting. I removed and installed that one about 10 times and it still leaked no matter what I did. I put the old one back on and that one now that one seems to leak a little bit of fuel from the top (although not as much as the new ones). What is going with these GF 432 filters?! I'm at my wits end. I searched the forum for similar issues and didn't see much. There was an old thread were somebody suggested adding Teflon tape to the threads but I thought this was a No-No because it could work it's way to the carb and cause other issues. Any advice would be much appreciated it.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA
