Torques fuel fittings
Evening!
I have done my fuel set up with all torques parts as many have used them before but wondered how everyone keeps them from leaking?
I have used ptfe on all the threads and they are dry but all the fittings that clamp onto the braided hosing are weeping very slowly.....any ideas?
Thanks! Adam

Could be the actual clip inside isn't tight enough. I bought the AN to barbed fitting so you can use an external jublie clip to hold them on once and tight once the barbed end is inserted into the stock fuel line

Hose and connector compatibility?
Too tight/not tight enough?
Correctly assembled?
I used these ones:

Apparently the cutter type are better but I couldn't get on with them as they kept backing the hose out when tightening and I didn't trust them after I had installed them. The fast flow can leak between hose and thread but touch wood mine seem ok.

I've done my whole car with torques fittings & braided hose, full parallel fuel rail set up & all fuel pipes on the whole car for peace of mind. Have to say not a single leak, are you sure you've installed the pipes & fittings correctly, there is a knack to getting the joints right which an ex race mechanic showed me.
