Subject: Propane hose leak?
Posted: 01 Apr 2017 at 12:25pm
Right after I purchased my new 179 RPOD about 1.5 years ago, I purchased a larger (taller) propane tank. Today I touched the hose (slightly bending it) leading from the tank, and I heard and smelled gas leaking from the area shown below. Maybe it's because the hose was stretched a bit, maybe the hose is old, maybe this is normal?

I don't think a slight bend in the hose should leak propane, should it? I suppose I should replace the hose with a longer hose? If so, any recommendations (preferably at Amazon)?
Thanks!
