I had the same problem with mine. Ended up damaging the tube by hammering on the wrench too much, trying to get the tab to line up with the mount ear, and when I tried to remove it, snapped the tube off. (You can read my adventure in removing the stump in the Q&A forum. That was really fun)
You will need to sand the tube down enough so it fits in the block bore snugly but not super-tight, then coat it with a
thin layer of your oil-resistant sealer of choice...
I assume you have already checked the block for paint and other debris in the hole?
Also - make sure the hole is drilled deep enough for the tube you are trying to insert. If not, you'll also need to shorten the snout of the tube.
Edited to add: It is possible that the part has been made incorrectly, too. I have read complaints on some brands that the tab is in the wrong place, or that the length is wrong, or both...
