I would think heat might help shrink it, like shrinky dink!
Ask forgiveness, not permission.

it's the cold that does that to us Darlin.

I had this happen to mine a few months ago... not the shrinky dink, but the fluid tank leak.
To me it was an easy fix...
I just unbolted the reservoir (2-3 bolts).
Pulled it up and out.
Pulled some hose slack out from the hold-downs.
CUT the hose, about 2 inches from the end (refreshing the inner diameter to nipple connection).
Re-attached the hose and remounted the tank.
DONE!
No more problem.
Good to go! ---JIM---

So ... Size doesn't matter???
Super VXer
Apparently length isn't what's important......just inside tube diameter versus nipple size....
