There are o rings which are likely to also leak. These are between the shut off valve and the injector pump. That is where my leaks began. Cheap enough to replace all fuel hoses & o rings and be done with this.

X2 what FI said on fuel leaks, just because it is not gasoline, a fuel fire can be terminal, for you & car.

Good Luck
