joints leaking?

Im done installing my motor and today I tried to fix the my problem from friday. WhenI prime the fuel pump gas would leak out from the front of the fuel rail(banjo joint). I sanded the copper washer to make them like new and put some extra turqe to it and teflon sealant. Now they dont leak as bad but I can tell that its leaking. It doesnt drip, but If I rub my fingers across the joints I have gas on my fingers. Sence its such a small leak can I use some kinda of "fix a leak". I was at advanced auto and saw something that for leaking things, it was gas / alch resistance. Would this be ok? Or no that **** never works. I will be checking things often, 2 times a day.

With gas leaking, you never want to take a chance. Replace the cooper washer, and if necessary, the banjo bolt. If there is a slight amount of fuel getting through now, what will happen as time goes on? Trouble always happens at the most inconvenient time. You should play it safe.
