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.

Exactly this. Take it, cut the hose perfectly straight. Use a sawing motion to avoid pressing down and ovalizing the tube.

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

The snow kits always leak. Had four friends with those kits ditch them for alky control and their stainless lines.

All those pushlok's will leak eventually. Sometimes it will be the fitting itself, others the hose squeezes up a little and needs that bit cut off.
