Mine fit fine yesterday. I had more issues trying to get it to thread on to the filter on the other end. The Buddy Heater hose is a sad piece of kit really. It is stiff as a board in cold weather (I know this was a change in materials due to issues with earlier hoses, but ugh). And the little plastic "key" they give you to tighten the male fitting you're referring to onto the propane tank breaks right away in cold weather. I always carry a couple of one pound bottles in case that hose is being cranky. Sometimes you just need to run it one a one pounder for a bit before it'll run off the bigger tank as well.
