Im taking a moment thank everybody who has replied to my questions. Every response is appreciated.
Existing fuel supply line to new injector leaks at compression fitting. Concerned about stripping threads so tight, still leaking. Advice?

Yes I can see bubbles along with fuel seepage coming out from under the nut of the compression fitting at the top of the injector

Tony, the bottom of that nut is the top of your return cap. I wonder if the upper oring in that cap is damaged and letting it leak out the top of the return cap?

I agree, that is is most likely a return line issue. However, take a close look at the sealing surface (flare) of the injection line. It is possible that the flare is damaged, misshaped or cracked. Do NOT use thread sealant, as the threads aren't meant to seal anything.
