[TR] TR3 Gas Tank Discharge Fitting

[William Brewer]

     My fuel line exiting the gas tank on my TR3 appears to be leaking slightly. I have it in as tight as I can get it. I am broke right now and too cheap to buy a new one from the big 3. I suppose that I can try to find a metal tube and ferrule from NAPA or somewhere to save a few bucks. 
     I was wondering if I could smear the ferrule with non-hardening Permatex or something to help seal it. I was also wondering if the existing fitting could be replaced with a brass fitting that takes it straight to a rubber hose fitting. 
     Anyone else been here before?
