fuel leak!!! Gasket?
i have a fuel leakproblem in my 06. I recently purchased a speacer similar to the AAM one for nitrous or adding a fuel pressure gauge. Long story short i broke one of the heads of one of the bolts when ratcheting it down. I had to take the bracket it off to get the bolt out. When taking the bolt off i was wrestling with the bracket to get the broken bolt out. When i installed it back in with the spacer, it started leaking real bad right at the regulator spot. I took the regulator out and found that the O ring was slightly damaged. I replaced both O rings ( one on the regulator and the other on the backside of the braket that goes to the rear of the engine). I oiled the O rings this time and ratcheted everything down nice. I started the car up again and i am still leaking fuel but not as much as before. There is high pitched "whistling" type noise coming from the engint so i know it must be a small leak but definatley leaking. I dont think there is anything else to try so i was wondering if they made any type of gasket maker kinda like the RTV silicone stuff only made for fuel or to withstand fuel? Just trying to save myself $90 for that whole bracket assembly.

There is simply no sealant that will do the job in that case. NONE----Sorry
