[s-cars] WOOT, fuel pump success - Car starts was Re: fuel pump retaining clips

[theringmeister at triad.rr.com]

Now, anyone with a Bentley know what the torque spec is for the banjo bolt for the fuel line that goes into the top of the fuel sending unit? I've stripped a banjo bolt on my cq's ps pump before and I don't want to do it to this thing too.  I used a new crush washer when I put it on, but I don't think I've got it tight enough as I noticed gas on the top of the sending unit after a short drive, and I think I had it all cleaned up before going out.  

Thanks
