Default Annoying Fuel Leak

Just installed my airdog 2 last weekend and have a question. The connection at the CP3 has been giving me some issues. The fitting that goes into the CP3 that connects to the JIC fitting is tight and sealing, but the JIC fitting has a very, very, small leak. You can't even notice it unless the truck has been running for a while, then there will be slight dampness from the connection between the JIC and CP3 adapter. I'm afraid to overtighten the fitting and shear the hollow CP3 adapter. Anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? I had to make a spacer to move my FS2500 over to clear the line and it's getting very annoying removing it to mess with this. Any help would be appreciated!

check the fitting to insure no debris or burrs from when it was machined, a coating of teflon paste wont hut anything either, it also acts as a good lubricant during instalation

Guys contact the shop where you purchased the pump, they should be able to get you a replacement fitting. If they say they cant tell them to call me and I will get it for them.
