My new 3-way has TINY barbs compared too my old one and the hoses fit snug on all but one barb.... is there any way i can shrink my hose to fit?

It doesnt need to shrink that much, it fits on already. Its just whenever i touch the hose it comes off a little more.

you could try heating it with a lighter.
I would suggest leaving it on the barb and heating it and trying to squish it at the base to hold it better.
Be advised that this will make the hose more stiff. The more you heat it the stiffer it will get when it dries. (wich may hold it on better, or make it come off easier depending on how you do it.)
Home depot also has hose that will work to replace it. ( I would suggest replacing it) but the lighter trick might get you by in a pinch.
Also error on the side of not enough heat as aposed to too much heat.
good luck.

Thanks alot.. i was wanted to try that but i found something easier. Ugly, but easy. I used some of that fancy teflon (or whatever it is) tape and just secured it onto the 3way lol. Ill get new hoses at the field sometime this week.
