Hi all,
New  coolant hose from bleeder valve to steel pipe (85 Vanagon).  The
connection is way too loose.   Both ends of the hose are sized to fit the
bleeder valve, but the steel pipe has a diameter approx. an eigths of an
inch smaller and fits into the hose very loosely.  I'm afraid clamping will
not prevent leakage.
Can anyone please give me an idea of what to do?
Thanks for any help.
