Help with gas line question

Question

I am in the process of changing my stove/oven to just a stove top, as I was connecting the gas lines I smelled Gas. Yes shut off, then got a gas sniffer and it seems the gas hose has a leak not the metal parts. So how would you tell me the best way to fix it? Its about 6 or 7 inches from the metal parts the bring the gas to the stove top. Do I get some more hose and some fittings to cut and reconnect because its also on a curve area. Or what??????

Go to a propane dealer and buy a new hose.  Unless you have the proper tools there is no way for a DIYer to repair them.

Is the line you are referring to copper or rubber. all of our gas connections inside the RV are flared soft copper tubing.

I have done this with pigtails and other propane hoes and the cost is reasonable.

Thank you Rhagfo, I have a handy man friend that had done stuff like this before so he will help me.
