Torque info

Forgive me for buying a Haynes manual rather than a Harley one. Can someone tell me the torque values for the fuel connection and dummy plug on a 2002 fatboy fuel injected tank. I replaced both o-rings but still have a slight leak. Should there be anything put on the threads prior to installation ?

Thanks. Johnv

Are you certain it's not leaking from the o-ring that the line to the throttle body seals against. That's a far more common leak than the o-rings that seal to the tank. Good luck.
