Transfill Hose Leak/Replacement

[happy-diver]

Great
But if you don't have good thick gas tape, but cheap see through thin tape you might try 6 wraps

apply teflon tape - Google Suche

Tape and cranking down on fittings is an art. Not enough tape or crank and you'll get leaks, to much of either can crack the fitting.

I'm just saying @Compressor be careful. A good rule of thumb is 1-3 threads sticking out. I'd say 95% of the time I see 3.

You'll be fine, just something to keep in the back of your mind, my cracked fitting was a mix of cranking and then vibration from the compressor.

I built my hose with a tank filler on one end a quick connect on the other. I have a quick connect on my compressor outlet a a quick connect on another tank fill so it serves either as a fill whip or transfill hose.

For the record a JIC flare is 37 degrees, an SAE is 45 degrees. Either will screw on the other but not seal correctly.

I agree, to be proper they should not be mixed,

In practice they will seal, on each other,

Also there is a few extra SAE sizes that are not normal JIC sizes, it can mess with you, until you get out the vernier,,,
