Depending on the dia you are using you'll want to get the right fittings, again ask the counter person at the truck stop. There are 2 types that I know of, one with the penis in the fitting and one where you have to purchase the metal insert for the dia. hose you are using. If you don't have either of these metal inserts for the hose, the hose will collapse when you tighten the nut on the ferrel. I'll send you pictures of the 2 connectors in another email.</font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3" face="Segoe UI"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3" face="Segoe UI">JohnT</font></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="3" face="Segoe UI"><br></font></div><br></div></div></div></div>
