Fuel Pump Inlet Leak - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Per the title, I noticed the smell of raw fuel yesterday and found that my fuel pump is leaking at the inlet fitting. A pretty steady drip too. Tightened it up as much as I could before I thought it might pull threads, but it's still leaking. Definitely from the fitting, and not the hose. No visible cracks in pump body.

The pump is new (installed 2 weeks ago) and the fitting was taken off the old pump but in very good shape.

Gotta get this stopped before I burn the thing down

.Any suggestions?
