Teflon tape?

well you use stuff on the NPT, I meant you don't use anything on the AN flared junctions.

this 6an flare adapter is leaking at the fpr too!

Well the other end on the k2 rail is perfect, they gave me this other adapter on the other side....

I know I said this in AIM but just so any of the readers know...



the AN stuff will leak like a mother until you have it all tight enough. After I stopped all my leaks I cranked the pressure using the adjustable FPR and found 3 more... you probably want to do the same, because when you get into boost, your fuel pressure is going to have to rise accordingly, and leaks might sprout where they werent previously.

One side appears to have a AN O-ring to NPT adapter installed, why didnt it come with a AN O-ring to AN Flare adapter like the other end?

Well the fpr an flare does not have an O-ring, so thats why that is leaking, and more than likely the other 2 don't either..

I just ordered a 8an to 6an flare adapter, that is what is on the opposite end of the k2 rail. So anyone who plans on ordering, make sure you specify the fittings you want! When i orderd through phins I assumed it was setup this way... whoopsy
