You're not going to blow up. I'm sure the vapor is regulated to 10-20 psig or so. Replace the hose or unscrew fitting and add teflon tape

This will work unless leak is where tubing meets the brass fitting, then its time for a new hose.

More like 10-20” of water.

If it’s leaking from the threads, unscrew and add Teflon tape. If it’s from the crimp, you need a new one but the leak will not blow you up.
