Stupid leaky fuel line!!

[71C10SWB]

I have been fighting with a hard fuel line and I wanted to see if you guys had expereinced this before.

I have a new fuel pump and new 3/8 Fuel line that I bent up to get to the carb.

I used the flared end that was already on the line. I tightened it down, but it's leaking. I've tightened it as much as I can. I've replaced the fuel pump with another one that was brand new and it still leaks. then I bent up anothe line....STILL LEAKS!!

Is a fuel line flare the right one for a stock fuel pump? Any suggestions? It's not a high pressure set up. The only reason that I changed it was becuase I was having some vapor lock issues so I makde a new line to get the line away from some hot areas.

I need to get this figured out. It's driving me nuts.
