No sir dont tighten the fuk out of it. Those are "flare" fittings. The seal is not around the thread but on the surface itself (the nipple looking side). It must get a contact on the surface, not the thread. Flare fittings are standard in pitch... whether metric or english. Go to Home depot and bring the banjo and hose with you. Find an adapter or get rid of the banjo fitting all together. Find an elbow with a "flare" end on one side and an NPT on the other....
