I had a similar problem at the sediment bowl, right before the extended ferrule was available. So I took the gas line off, blew all the gas out of it and let it lay in the sun for a short while until I was sure all the gas was gone from it. Then I put a light coating of solder on the face of the ferrule to build it out, making sure it was a uniform coating. I polished it with some very fine sandpaper (the black 3M type). That was over a year ago and I have a nice leak free joint and the hex of the compression fitting is slightly further away from the sediment bowl and does not bottom out.
