Propane Leak: Hose Replacement
OK, don't judge me. Don't make fun of me. Well, go ahead I deserve it. :) Here's the deal. My propane tank leaks sometimes. It seems to be temperature and altitude related. At sea level there ...

Yeah, learning the hard way. I just assumed all this stuff was universal.
Here's the pig tail that's on the trailer and the replacement I have looks the same.

The only visual difference between the replacement and the original still on the trailer appears to be the size of the brass nut at the threads is larger, barely, on the trailer. The replacement is 1/2 inch and the original is probably 9/16.
Here is the auto changeover regulator that is on the trailer: http://tinyurl.com/j256uv8
The intermittent leak is only on the right side.
So I might not be looking at a hose replacement? I might be looking at a regulator replacement? Do I figure out which by trial and error? Switch the hose and watch for intermittent leak to persist?
