Ive got a small fuel leak, seems to be coming from the inlet and outlet fittings in the pump itself, only a small leak.
whats your thoughts?

David,
The fittings in the Race Pump seal on the bottom of the fitting against the pump body. The pump body is hard anodized, the fittings are not. We vacuum test each pump after we install the fittings. If the fittings are removed and re-installed by the end user they occasionaly don't seal properly. You can remove the fittings, clean them, and re-install them with a little Teflon paste.
The most common problem is customers installing O-rings on the pump fittings.....there is no provision for an O-ring and the O-ring will prevent the fitting from sealing properly.
