In my case I realized replacing the hose is a lot cheaper than the link and less risk of leak. The two vice grip trick I posted earlier was the hot tip on this issue for me.

 

Very True.......

 

There has been a lot of talk about leaks from the Quick Release hose/pipes. No one has said that they actually had any problems with leaks on the Plastic or Metal Q.Release hoses.
Just sayin.

 

Nope, never any leaks here!

 

I was always going to get the quick disconnect setup but never did. I heard only good reviews on it. I use the 2 vise grip method btw.

 

On BMWs there are numerous reports of leaks, and even fires with the plastic ones. It's not that they leak, but that they crack, and then leak, under pressure.




I realize this is a different use, so it may not be a problem, I don't know.
For my own peace of mind I use the metal ones.

 

Mine leaks a drop or two but that is it.
It beats the hell out of what I was leaking before.

 

Back in the day when fuel injection became the norm with chrysler (middle 80's) and a lot of the quick disconnects were plastic, at the fuel filter and fuel rails and I do remember time to time the leaks so i'm not really a proponent just careful....Give anything the opportunity and it will....

 

The one's I was looking at were metal.

 

Yes. If I had seen a metal Q.R. Fitting I would have bought it but the ones that came up on eBay UK were plastic. Bungo
