leaking fuel......HELP
I installed the AEM fuel rail and AEM fuel pressure regulator couple of months ago. And now I've found out that it's leaking cuz once in a while I would smell gas coming from the engine area. It is leaking(very little) from the fuel rail. I dunno know how to describe exactly where it's from but here's a shot. On the fuel rail right next to the fuel pressure regulator there's a brown or black screw that uses an allen wrench to screw it in. It's leaking from the screw. What can i do to take care of this. THANKS!

Its actually more durable then you think.
Even if it does melt, you'll smell it for 5 minutes, and the melt will seal it up anyways. so its all good

gasoline mets some plastics. teflon is a plastic (wel as a resin it is, i dont know about teflon tape), dont know if its affected by gasoline.
that far down? the injectors are right on the fuel rail...why is it leaking in the first place? did you lose an o-ring or something?

Well, to clear things up let's make sure that we're all talking about the same thing here. I took a snapshot of the problem. So, should i use the silicone tape or not?  THANKS MUCH!
