Normally yes. This one is particular.

I have a bad setup (remember what I said about being a bad road car builder), it's a T-fitting with a 3/4 hose on top, 3/4 on the bottom right and 20 or 21mm on the bottom left.
3/4 = 19mm.
The bottom left is 1-2mm larger and I couldn't find a t-fitting that is 3/4-3/4-20/21mm. So I put some high temp tape to enlarge the barb fitting, 3-4 years ago. But pressure made it slip away, probably cuz it wasn't tight enough and some coolant slipped through between the hose and barb, lubricating the space more. Don't know.

All I know is the t-fitting is not the correct size and I pushed the installation anyway.

Now trying to use some aeroquip barb fitting push-on, correct sizes, and one size t-fitting screw-on (threads). But then again I have a hard time finding the right fittings.


My problem is only a problem of fitting sizes! That's so stupid.

Any advice on the right solution here would be awesome. I can take better pictures of the area if required.
