Mine did the same thing and I run pump gas...cofused the hell outta me. I replaced the washers on the side that was leaking and it stopped for about a week. Last resort I took it back to the shop I bought it from (not mail order) and am waiting word on what they are going to do.

Summary I have the same problem but zero solution. YW!

my sump was welded to my tank; the weld had a few pinholes; emptied tank, prepped the area, applied JB Weld, painted it, holds great.

If you dont mind those fittings being somewhat permenant .... just seal them with an epoxy like JB weld ...
