I have persistent leak at this little tube and it seems to seep gas from either the center of the nut or perhaps from the threads of the nut and fuel tank, I have replaced copper washer and still leaks. Should there be two washers woudl that stop the leak one on either side of the washer that seems welded on to this little tube or just the one washer? the copper washer goes between the tube and bottom of the tank ? what about the filter is there an addiitonal washer?

Should I replace the tube and the nut and new washers again

Is there anything like a pipe dope that I could put on the threads that would help?

Cannot seem to stop the extremely slow leak. It did not leak for months and then started again. Impossible to tighten the nut further than it is already

Leak around tube or thru the threads ?
I stack filter, washer (copper, would prefer fiber), tube and nut.
You can crank it pretty tight.
Are you trying to do it in the car?

Sealant. We had leak issues on Matt's fuel injection.
We went with ARP thread sealant and it stopped the leaks.
My .02c.

Thank you I will try the thread sealant and new washer. I believe the red washer that comes with the mesh filter screen is actually copper it has red dye on it if I remember correctly. Fiber washers are probably very easy to get if they are the correct size. I will definitely try the thread sealant
