Search Term: Leaky Holley Fuel Inlet Fitting

There is a hidden "lip" on the underside interior edge of the seat of the Holley dual feeds that will prevent the fuel inlet gasket from seating properly if the gasket is not first pushed away from the center of the carb, the fitting then finger tightened until just before snug, then push the gasket back towards the center of the carb so that it is centered properly on the inlet fitting and is not "seated over the lip." If the gasket is seated over the lip it will continue to weep. If you have continuing leak problems from Holley fuel inlets, that are leaking from the fuel bowl side of the inlet, this is likely the reason why.
