Looking for some words of wisdom on tightening the banjo bolts on an SU fuel
pump. I've just installed a stock SU pump and have the red fiber washers on
either side of the banjo and am getting a fuel seep from both banjos with the
pump on. Not sure if I have the bolts too tight or too loose. A bit afraid to
tighten them too much as I think the pump body is cheap pot metal and I dont
want to strip it and scrap a brand new pump. Am I right about that or am I
being too timid in tightening them? Thinking of waiting a day to let the fiber
washers expand from being in contact with fuel to see if they will swell a bit
and seal. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
