Had a fuel leak. I pressure tested the lines and they held 100 psi. Next pre-flight - leaks. Disassembled & reassembled regulator. No leaks. Next preflight - leaks. Bottom line - my steel braided fuel line had apparently carried high current at some point. There was a dark spot which eventually showed a fine jet of fuel when under pressure. New fuel lines. No more leaks. Hope this helps. John
