Yikes! Apart from learning the hard way how to work with banjo fittings, there's one thing missing from your setup. Nobody ever mentions this, and I think it's extremely important.

ALWAYS have a GOOD fire extinguisher within arms reach when working on fuel systems!!

Especially when it gets cold and the air dry, a fire that burns you badly, destroys your car and burns down your garage and house is only one itty-bitty spark away.


Now, having said all that, one thing that can make those washers leak is if the banjo pipe got torqued or dinged during the work. If the loop of the banjo isn't perfectly flush and level with the pump, the surfaces won't seal up correctly. Also, if you nicked or got plier marks on that surface, same deal. If it's just twisted a bit, you can use pliers (with leather to prevent marring) to get it straight again. If you've scarred the sealing surface, you may have to replace that part.
