I thought I had to where it wouldn't leak, after repeated tightening, now almost a year later I saw a drop on the crossmember. If you look at the only bad review for that item, it's about leaking.
I was going to try to get a different hose made that doesn't use an adapter. I think I may just be crushing the o-ring while trying to get the inverted flare to seal... |
I'm going to call NAPA today and see if they can make one like that.

Kinda go along with what Sean says.. when you tighten those adapter fittings, its twisting the oring, where the factory fitting just puts pressure on the oring

I think you both nailed it. I'm going to try and get a hose made that doesn't require me to use an adapter fitting. Thanks for the input!
