Ok I have a pretty serious issue. I'm just glad I added a shut off upstream of this because its off now. The threaded portion is leaking, but since I used a crimp connector I can't turn it anymore so I can apply more teflon or do any kind of troubleshooting. What is the best course of action here? My car has a gas leak in the gas line and I'm hoping to avoid another trip to the hardware store, otherwise I'd just cut the end off and go buy a new fitting and then recrimp. I have a heat gun, can I like, melt the teflon into place or something so it seals better? Since it's a very small leak, could I get away with caulk?
edit: I bit the bullet and went anyway, bought a new fitting (should have both more than one...) and I"m at it again. This time I'm trying with pipe dope. Do I need to wait for it to dry or anything or is that something that just stays moist, like oil? The bottle says nothing about dry/cure time.
