Racor 500 fuel filter tops can warp over time allowing air to leak in.  If
the T-handle is over-tightened, it can cause the top to become concave.
Lay a flat across the underside of the top and see if the center is
depressed (raised if the top is upside down).  If so, you can't tighten the
T-handle enough to seal the gasket.

Also, the gasket can leak if old.  Replace it often.
