Gas line leak at connections (sediment bowl to carb). Replaced with new line. Does not feel like feral bottoms out on gas sediment bowl before running out of threads. Also believe vibration causing the problem. I have put a rubber line on , but do not like the looks. Hate to buy a new sediment bowl and still have the same problem. Suggestions?
 
Do you have the cast iron, or the glass bowl?
I would tighten the ferrules by screwing the fittings into cast iron. These new fittings need to be screwed very tight to make the ferrule snap loose from the nut. A drop of oil helps. Once it's squeezed tight to the steel line then you can tighten it into the glass sediment bowl.
 
Glass bowl. Just feels like the feral never gets seated to the bowl connection. I guess I could take loss from bowl and tighten that end in carb to see if it would seat the feral then reattach to bowl.
Not really worried about the rubber line since it is made for gas. This does eliminate the vibration of the metal gas line between the firewall and motor. But do not like the looks.
