When back home, I opened the hood , and there was NO gaskets oozing. I did set the regulator to 3 psi.
The reason I asked about adding gaskets to the fuel pump was because of talking to an old-timer mechanic, He said I could have done that instead of going thru trying to get everything installed in such a limited amount of space.
