Fuel leak

Has anyone else ever had a problem with this hose leaking, there was no hole, it was leaking from between the nipple and the hose, i tightened the **** out of it and it seems to have fixed it, i just wanted to know if this one has caused anybody else problems
Heres a general location pic

And heres a close up of the hose, its behind the grey and orange plugs

if the hose is too big for the metal line, it will leak, no matter how tight you tighten it.

I have had a similar issue. It wasn't the exact same sopt, but I had a line that was a little big, and the connection kept leaking.

I see that you are NOT using fuel line, so I tried to offer you some insight. Acutally, on second glance, I cant tell what area you are taking about.
You aren't really stiking the right chord if you'd like some sincere help.
