Is the bulk head fitting leaking or the actual push lock where the hose goes in?

Have you cut the hose perfectly straight with a razor on a hard flat surface? You what the cut straight and flat 90*.

Also if you have removed it more than a few times it will leak... just cut a smidge off and insert back.

No problem with mine and its like 5 years old.

I had a pushlock fitting leaking recently, no matter what I did it wouldnt stop. It was at the pump, you can get a replacement fitting from them or from Devil's Own (local to me). Same part, just make sure you get the correct size for your application.

I took the hose off and cut it as straight as possible with a razor on a table, and drove it around the block. So far it hasn't leaked anymore. Hopefully that was it.

Thanks
