fuel line leaking slightly where it comes out of the tunnel and joins rubber line. .....FIXED


i have just replaced (like 5 minutes ago) the old braided style line on my baja with some brand spankin 1/4 rubber fuel line. where the metal line pokes out of the tunnel and meets the rubber line it is leaking slightly.....the old line didnt even have a clamp on it and im not sure whether it leaked too it very well may have however i now have a brand new clamp and line on and it leaks ever so slightly as i ran the engine for a couple of minutes after changing the line and i checked all the joins for leaks and........well i found one:(........any suggestions on how i can stop the leak?

fixed it now....i had the clamp a bit too tight i think and it was warping hole from its usuall circular shape which meant it didnt match up with the metal tube letting the fuel leak down past it.
