hi: no where it gos into the fuel shut-off valve, i use the worm-gear type clamps, on all the fuel hose connections. this fuel line fitting, connector, is made of aluminium,. and fits or pushes back into the fuel shut-off valve,. and then you push your fuel hose, onto it. and then slip a clamp, onto the hose,. the problem that i am having right now. is when you push the fuel fitting connector, into the fuel shut-off valve, it will not hold in place in the fuel shut-off valve., that is where the fuel is leaking. thanks

Drain the fuel, clean the connection and apply a slight amount of RTV Silicone to the fitting, then clamp it with a real hose clamp. Make sure you let it dry and be careful not to get any inside the fuel line. Drying time should be a day+, then add fuel.

If that does not work replace the fuel hose it may be stretched.

Fuel vale body to inlet tube leakage is usually a bad vale assy. I've fixed mine empty or tilt tank a good cleaning of both the body inlet and fitting spray with brake cleaner and epoxy it back in place being care full of getting any epoxy inside clamp it in lightly, wait at least 48 hours before putting in fuel. beware it's not ,necessarily a safe way to go but it will hold until you get a new assy. I've had mine last for years but i wouldn't sell it that way.
