The scary part is...I've pulled stuff like that off of air brake systems that drive down the roads behind us..............

What a mess. The original tube listing acts like 3/8" =10mm and 1/2" = 12mm. Uh well, not really. That works OK in hardware store rope but not in tubing or pipe or nuts or bolts etc. Yeah boy, a one world economy, that's helping out isn't it?
I know guys, it's a bit of a mess, stacking ferrules on top of each other. I couldn't find a proper tube, so resorted to amazon.
I know lots of people will trash my install, but you know what? These double ferrules won't go anywhere.
Yes it's not ideal, but I just made it work.
Worst case? I will have a leak, then I'll address it.
I know people are kinda tending to overdramatize it, but you know what?
The original pipe from the pump to the tank had 2 ferrules on each side.
Well, the ferrule on the pump side was metal. The ferrule on the tank size was rubber
so I'm sure this will be fine.
Not ideal but nothing critical I think.
