OM606 diesel fountain. New return lines. Any help appreciated

E300 with 180,000 miles. Pools of fuel in wells. Has to be be return lines. Cut em put em on. Proud and happy I was. Started the car and was waiting for self bleeding to happen. Mistake #2. While I was basking in the joy of a job well done the car was shooting a spray of fuel 3 feet in the air. What s mess. The fuel looks like it is coming from the center of the nut for the fuel line. Pulses with the engine. I could not get a good look without getting a face of fuel. Now it's on my shirt, pants and hair but I was able to keep it out of my eyes. I did undo and retighten the fuel line nut. I don't think it's the return lines in that it sprays with a lot of force from the nut line connection.Mistake #1 was thinking the plastic tubing going to the turbo was flexible. Broken pipes I can live with. Spraying diesel might be a problem with neighbors as work are smells like a truck stop. Any help is greatly appreciated.
