I believe he meant to use the correct fittings with the other lines. In other words, swap the line positions.

Make sure I have this straight. The hurricane is cutting out and an air leak in the fuel line is a possible source of the problem. A discussion is taking place regarding someone's suggestion that the fuel supply line be switched with the fuel return line as a solution rather that changing out the suspected fuel line. I'm no expert on the subject but it would seem to me that the fuel line is bleeding in air through a small leak because the fuel line is under negative pressure being attached to the inlet of the fuel pump. When switched to the return line position it will be under a positive pressure being attached to the bypass outlet of the fuel pump. Would not the proposal merely switch an air leak to a fuel leak?

Just wondering

Well Mikee mine did, all over my campsite two days into a 12 week stay at James Island County Park at Charleston, SC.
I ran a new line making no attempt to follow the path of the old line, Easy task taking a couple hours.
The only thing usual I can say about small leaks is that they usually get bigger, Don Seager

Fuel lanes made for pre ULSD, are prone to porosity leaks due to the material being eaten away.

IMO, they're should have been a recall once they realized that these lines were suspect of leaking with ULSD. Not unique to RV's, as the boating community has had the same risk. Both boats and RV's have had fires as a result.

We went ahead and proactively changed our rubber diesel fuel lines to our generator, and our Hydro Hot. Went with Gates Barricade, but most of the new lines you can get say at Napa, will be compatible with ULSD.

As Don pointed out, more of a matter of just doing it vs rocket science. And cheap insurance.

All just my humble opinion!
Best to all,
