Re: Bad fitting?

You need to mate the flare face with the flare seat in the fitting.
You need to move a tiny bit of metal. To do that just loosen the nut a touch and then tighten it back up. Do that a half dozen times but try to tighten it just a touch more each time. I call that lapping.
If that doesn’t work you might need to replace that tube and fitting and try lapping it to get it to seal.
