Safety Concern/Question - small leak in side burner regulator line. Could use some advice!

Your advice and input is appreciated, thank you!

(edit)The lines to each hose are crimped on- therefore I can't just swap out the hose.

My girlfriend purchased a used grill, it's a Charbroil 3 burner grill with a side burner on the right-hand side.

The regulator line that branches to the side burner has a small leak in it. The liquid propane can be noticed bubbling out slightly from the hose. I used a half a roll of electrical tape to cover the leak, then I applied an entire roll of EZ Fuse which is some professional grade stuff to prevent leaks in water hoses etc. However, it does not say anything about gas lines.

Bear in mind this hose is only for the side burner, which I do not plan on using! and is turned OFF. Am I putting myself at any risk by just using the 3 burners? I imagine it would have to be some kind of freak incident to get enough heat/spark to that line which is wrapped 3-4 times with electrical tape and EZ Fuse.

Your input would be very much appreciated!
