I’m going to send you an individual message to see if we can figure this out.

Here’s my repair:
You can easily check the success by submerging it in water to check for bubbles.
I posted before reading the other comments. Definitely default to the safest solution you can accommodate!

a leak from a proximal hose defect on a new hose or one that is in good shape can be fixed. Old hoses that get brittle or have more than one leak should be replaced. Over the course of decades, I’ve had to deal with leaks on garden waterhoses, propane gas grills, welding and cutting oxyacetylene torch hoses, auto fuel lines, and high pressure hydraulic hoses on a tractor. Some can be fixed and other have to be replaced. When dealing with flamable/explosive gases or liquids, safety comes first… replacement is the safest… old hoses can’t be fixed without springing another leak elsewhere… gas grills are the worst… the regulator is attached and the whole thing has to be replace for $$$…
defaulting to safety is better than taking a chance!
