Common problem! I've fixed the exact same problem about 15 times in 3 months, Make sure you use a shorter bolt where your fuel filter housing was (not the stock bolts)

That's weird I just did the same thing when I did injectors and it was one bolt drivers side front she was leaking like crazy I tightened the bolt and tested to 30 psi not a single bubble I may have gotten lucky but with my mileage at 15 city I knew something was wrong hoping I see a nice gain in mpg I already noticed the gain in power
