The original problem that I ran into last year was that the fitting that goes into the rail was leaking...either I screwed it on too tight or the Cartech rails weren't properly machined. To solve this I put some liquid Teflon around the fitting which seemed to resolve the problem. Now it seems to be the 90 degree AN fiiting that is screwed into the fitting that I described above that is leaking at the swivel. The funny thing is that I noticed the fuel leak once my cats were removed and I could hear a funny "loose/leaking" noise coming from under the hood at 3500-4000 RPM's, which is right where the engine starts to make HP. I don't like that noise whatsoever and I hope this fix eliminates the noise, because something ain't right.
