Default Help! Fuel Filter Connection Leaking!

I was changing my oil today and I was fixing to change my fuel filter when I saw that it was dripping fuel out of where the fuel line meets the fuel filter on the right side. The connection was tight, so I changed the fuel filter. I checked to make sure the small black rubber O-rings where at the ends and put the new one on. Cranked the truck up and it was still slowly dripping. Can I put something around it to make it stop or something? Please give some input! Thanks.

clean the ends up good w/ a wire brush and make sure these are GM o-rings for that purpose because they will still leak. I have had this problem at work many times. some times the threads become too dirty to actually tighten far enough in the filter.

I'll try that! Thanks a lot for the info! Do you think I should just replace the little O-rings with some newer ones?
