NY Please HELP! Fuel LEak in FC3s!!!!!

OK please people i need help. i had discovered a gas leak in my rx7 after i bought her...at first it was only a vacuum leak that i fixed but then like i stated before the gas leak struck..i did my research and the problem was most likely to be the pulation damper, so after all my research is done im sure that the fuel leak is coming from the pulsation damper, i order a brand new pulsation damper and i install it...i go to start the car it is not starting at all its cranking..i go and look by the exaust manifold on the passenger side of the car and gas is still leaking HELP! mE! OUT!

You need to move slower and make sure you check more stuff.

Are there any cracks in the fuel lines? are they clamped down properly? Are any of the fuel injector grommets worn out to the point of leaking? Did you make sure to install a crush washer in between the fuel rain and the pulsation dampener?

Yea i had already replaced and triple checked the fuel lines for cracks or loose ends

Im about to replace the injector O-ring and seal today
and as for the washer i did not install it would that be a reason why gas is leaking

Uh yeah, if that washer isn't installed, you can expect a leak.
