Never surrender!  It's just hardware.  I was an acft mechanic in the Army. We used conical crush washers in liquid connections. Try a crush washer: http://secoseals.com/

I have an idea. Instead of repairing the leak, buy some new hose and make a new line with new fittings. This looks easier than running down a leak in an old line. What parts do I need?

I use 5/16 gas line and a stainless steel screw clamp.  If you have a good local homebrew shop they can tell you what you need.
