Gas Leak Question

[Bill O'Brien]

My gas fitting that goes on the carb is leaking. I had done the fitting with Permatex sealent but still leaked. When I removed the fitting, the ferrule did not come out.....

I looked in the hole and the furrule is stuck inside. (Jut to make 100% sure there should not be a brass fitting on the inside of the hole... ??)

I must have had the gas line fitting not far enough up on the gas line and the furrule was off of the end of the gas line.

I think if I remove the gas filter bolt I can get behid the stuck ferrule and tap it out...

Thoughts??? Thanks!!!
