I have a fuel leak at the tip of the fuel line where it connects to the fuel spider. I changed the O-RINGS and even tried adding more rings but it still streams fuel.

You may have a cracked hose end.

the metal tube that feeds the spider with fuel is sealed with O-Rings. I've added up to five rings to secure the seal but still leaking.

Sounds like you have a bad tube or bad spider.

It is secured by a bolt so it should never pop out.

There is a spacer that a lot of people forget to install and it leaks if it is missing.

Okay, I went back and looked at it. It's not the feed line. On my spider injector there's a metal cap next to the feed line and the spacer is in between. The metal cap is the one that pops out. So we have the feed line in one hole the spacer and then the metal cap in the second hole.

The vehicle I'm referring to is an 2005 Chevrolet Express 1500
