Fuel leaking from fuel shut off solenoid

I have searched through the forums with no luck, my truck is leaking fuel around the fuel shut off solenoid. I replaced this soleniod about 2 weeks ago as the truck would periodically would not shut off. Fixed the problem for about a week now it will not shut off period. I was using the manual shut down lever and was content with that for a while. Then I began to notice a fuel leak it was leaking around the throttle shaft. I have a Denny T AFC delete, I took the top off replaced the o-ring on the throttle shaft, that part of the leak is fixed. Then I got it back together, started it and noticed is was leaking a fair amount of fuel around the fuel shut off solenoid. I took is out reaplaced the o-ring and did not make a bit of difference. Also I must have not gotten the manual lever in there quite right because the truck has to be stalled now to shut it down. Any ideas?

Ahh, hate to say it but you might want to get a manual shutoff in there. You can get a shutoff but it's just going to break.

The fuel leak would not be associated with the solenoid being bad would it? Thats the big issue is all the fuel its leaking around it.
