X2 - which fitting type and brand are you using? Like Marv, I rarely see leaks from the swivel on typical application. I use the cutter type of hose ends (XRP), and sometimes if people don't get the hose in straight, it will leak at the hose-fitting union.

However, if you are using these fitting on the fuel system for a diesel, the pressure of the fuel system can easily exceed the PSI rating of a typical AN assembly...even the crimp style. Is this for a lift pump assembly before the CP3?
