Ken, I strongly suspect that the 1/4" line you're using has a larger I.D.
than the 7mm, so it's too loose a fit on the hose barbs.  It wouldn't be
the first time that US standards differed from metric <g>.  Also, of
course, if you didn't pay $2+(US) a foot then it's almost surely not the
right stuff.  I bet someone here could tell you the I.D. of the 7mm hose...
