Default Need help with leaking fuel line

I had a leak at one of the fuel line connectors, at the firewall. I replaced the fuel tube, part # 5278866-AC, which connects the fuel line at the firewall with the fuel rail. I drove the car yesterday and found it leaking again. Coming from the connector, at the firewall. Is there a trick to installing the fuel tube? Are there any other options?

I'm having the same issue although I replaced the line with one I found at the junkyard due to that line being on backorder. The seal inside the 90 degree elbow looks fine and I'm not seeing any holes anywhere so hopefully someone on here can help because this car is my daily driverfor school and work.

My co workers 05 neon is doing the same thing even after he replaced the damper line. Did you guys get this resolved?

I ordered a new fuel line from a dealer and it still leaked. I am assuming that the line upstream is also worn. I gave up and replaced it with high pressure fuel line hose and clamps. worked fine.
