Sometimes they need just a little more to complete the seal.
yep, I've done a few extra turns on them - the Fragola fittings I purchased are the zinc covered steel ones, they tear up my aluminum AN wrench something fierce...
at this point the joints are binding a bit so I can redo them - the olives are only $2/ea. and I left a little extra fuel line slack so it should still fit
