TKS leak

[r0ckst4r]

I've noticed a slow leak from the TKS system and took off the belly panel to inspect  further.   These are the pictures of what i found.  The leak is coming off of the hose clamp.  I did not dissasemble things any further since I was planning on flying this weekend.  The little hose clamp was tightened but did not make any difference.

@CAV Ice what are the parts needed to replace this?

Anyone experience this before or have any tips?

That looks like a disassemble that connection, clean and put back together…

See if @M20Doc is familiar… (TKS plumbing detail)

 

PP thoughts only, not a technical plumber…

@r0ckst4r The convoluted tube is P/N 1120 

Inside the convoluted tube is an inline strainer P/N 4664

This tube/strainer feeds directly off your tanks to you main metering pumps.

My best guess, based on the pictures, is the convoluted tube my have a small crack at or near the hose clamp causing a slow leak.  Further investigation would be required though.
