    Replaced this manifold above driver fuel tank and it's already leaking from same spot, possible that I got a bad brake chamber or something pushing air back? I hold air about 6 mins riding down interstate but when parked I can hear air escaping out top right corner of this thing.

    I'd try cutting the end off the tubing and reinstalling it. It might be the tubing, not the manifold. Make sure it's straight and not pushing or pulling the fitting too hard.

    Get you a little plastic tube cutter tool - they make a nice neat 90 degree cut VS. using snips or a utility blade, no matter how accurate you think you are.
