I just bought some stainless steel tubing clamps that use a screw to tighten around the hose. I heated the hose end, and put the shank connector into the tube, and then tightened the screw as much as humanly possible. But the thing still leaks when I hook it up to my keg from the shank. Anyone have some suggestions for this?

Are the clamps circular or do they appear bent?

If you can, get the clamps for pressurized gas lines at a auto parts store. They are designed to create a more equal pressure.
Thanks for all of the emergency help but...it was the shank connector. There was too big a gap between the screw piece and the nozzle, which made the leak look like it was coming from the tube--used a plastic washer to fix the problem.

Glad you got it resolved.
