A fill hose I have started leaking near a flare fitting. It’s leaking between the ferrule and the fitting, but doesn’t appear to be from the flare connection itself. See attached picture. Flexing the hose near the ferrule makes the leak better or worse, but doesn’t stop it completely. I
I’ve tightened the flare fitting to NPT adapter that’s next in line, but no changes. If I put wrenches on the two nuts to the left of that, the hose just swivels, and nothing actually gets
tighter or looser.
I don’t normally deal with flare fittings, so not sure if I’m missing something here. Is this fixable, or do I just need to find a shop that will chop off the bad fitting and re-crimp a new one on?
Thanks,
Jim
