I pulled the tank and completely re-plumbed my fuel system, including new little red seals on the bungs at the bottom of the tank. Cleaned all the hardware thoroughly before re-assembly.

Now, the garage smells like a refinery.

Unfortunately, the bungs are leaking like crazy. Not quite dripping, but they are wet enough to be the obvious source of my leak.

Any tips on getting them sealed up properly? Is there only supposed to be one little red seal on each bung, or two?

I have heard of others using AN fittings and tapping the inside of the bungs for the AN fitting.
Keeps it leak free.
