just reworked my fuel system and part of that was putting a brand new Edelbrock 8126 fuel inlet onto my carburetor.

Pretty sure it’s leaking from the banjo fitting. I’ve got both of the provided washers on either side. I’ve got it tight, but not Hulk tight. Anybody else have this problem?

With a banjo, try to find softer washers. Brass, aluminum or what ever is the easiest to deform under pressure. Then all you can do is tighten more, and check for leaks. Tighten more, and check for leaks, and repeat. Even when they seem like they are going to break or strip, all you can do is keep cranking away or trying different washers.
