how to seal leak on rubber drip hose?

as title states, where the T enters the tube the hole is slightly too big and leaks. I've tried aquarium silicone(the non-toxic silicone), doesn't stick to the tube. I let it dry for 3 days. any suggestions appreciated! thanks guys and gals

Plumbers Blue pipe glue.

thanks Bu, have you used it on rubber tubes yourself?

guess changing fitting is out ?

fitting? its a hole drilled out with the T punched through it.

You may be able to use a rubber grommet. This would allow for a press fit for the tube/fitting. You can buy these at any auto store. They use them for running wire/fuel lines through metal (firewall). Look 'em up online. They are super cheap with no need for glues/epoxies. Just Google them.

Hope this helps.

Just get a bike tire repair kit ;P

If your going out to buy thing, why not just buy a slightly smaller hose? You say its where the T enters, does that mean the end is a bit warped? If so cut the piece of thats a tab bigger and it should fit then. or maybe a small ziptie. I bet that would work!!!

or double down on garbage bag twist tie, twist it real TIGHT!!

LOL, it took a few hours but he's gone now.

Haha! I hears ya..
You know bro, honestly on sealing the hole.. I have used "plumbers tape" and it worked fine when I was doing "top feed" while running my DWC system for the little time I did..

Not that real flim looking stuff btw.. I seen some kind of "new" tape at wal-marts, and its suppose to stop any kind of leak! So I got some, and it works.. lol cheap to!! Like 3$ if I remeber correctly..

I gotta turn you guys on to a great product; it's called Seal All. It works for sealing up holes in gas tanks - even while they are still leaking! It's great stuff.
