There is no such thing as a leak in a gas line to be normal. Mine is bend but no leaks, time for a new hose.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Right after I purchased my new 179 RPOD about 1.5 years ago, I purchased a larger (taller) propane tank.  Today I touched the hose (slightly bending it) leading from the tank, and I heard and smelled gas leaking from the area shown below.  Maybe it's because the hose was stretched a bit, maybe the hose is old, maybe this is normal?  

I don't think a slight bend in the hose should leak propane, should it?  I suppose I should replace the hose with a longer hose?  If so, any recommendations (preferably at Amazon)?

Thanks!
