Just ran new fuel lines, one more quickie...

Ok, I just finished running the new fuel lines on my new truck, and I found a problem that either I caused or didn't see before. The only leak now is right on top of the fuel tank at the pump outlet. Like I said, I could have caused it trying to cram the new lines into the rubber, or I might have just not seen it. Either way, what happened? It's dripping from the elbow fitting right at the outlet, but I don't have the tank all the way off, and I can't see how it's connected, and it doesn't want to pull off... Is there a trick to it? and what is it that I'm replacing/fixing?
Thanks,

Matt {peace}

It sounds like you screwed up the outlet on the sending unit. You would have to remove it from the tank and have it repaired

Phew! It turned out that the clamp that holds the hose to the elbow had snapped... Put a new one on and all is well! It's alive!!! Now all I have to do to drive it is give it new plugs/wires/filters/etc, refresh the brakes, replace the power steering hose (I put in a pint of fluid and it pissed it right back out) ::) , and "technically" do the exhaust... Too bad it's going to snow for the next 3 days.... I wanted to get her road ready before the snow so I could take her out to play! ;D ;D

Thanks anyway!!
