I got an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and I'm real close to firing everything back up. WHen you prime the key a very small amount of fuel leaks out the backside when the pressure reaches around 40 psi. It seems the O-ring didn't do the trick. Is there some type of sealant I could use like a permatex, anyone else have this happen? Thanks
 
Is it leaking out of the bottom where it meets the rail? One of my threaded fittings on my Aeromotive was leaking so I just wrapped it with teflon tape and it solved the problem. I'm not sure what to do if it's the flat surface of the rail and flat surface of the regulator that aren't sealing properly.
