[Shop-talk] Auto gas line repair

[Pat Horne]

I'm with Randall, with one addition. Use a flaring tool and put a small 
flare on the end of the line so the hose won't slide off. If you have a 
double flare tool, all the better, just put the bulge in the tubing and 
put the hose on. I had a hose slide off a transmission oil cooler line 
once. When I complained to the shop that did the work they told me that 
kind of thing was why that particular mechanic was not working for them 
any more!

Peace,
Pat
