    There are many ways to stop leaks at the cooler fittings.
    remove them and replace the o-rings.
    Use new tubes - it is just 5/16" steel fuel line.
    If you need longer length than you can find there are unions that allow you to screw two lines together.
    Switching to after-market fittings and metal lines is a more expensive alternative but you might find that JIC fittings are more robust - they are made to handle 3000+ psi.
