Fuel leak... very frustrated and need help

So when I thought I was at the end with this project (headgaskets and tranny swap from auto to manual) I go to start it and when the fuel pump primed the lines I smelt gas. I also found that gas was coming out in the connections with a banjo. So, I got new crush washers and installed them. Now, I go to prime the system again and it is still leaking gas. I'm at my wits end with this project and really would like some tips/advice to why is it still leaking. Thanks

1995 Toyota 4runner V6
