Instead MAM sent some no name shit that went hard, shrank and leaked as
soon as it came in contact with oil.

everyone changes from it.
There isn't anything in the MAM floats that require more than 50 to 75psi to
move and 100 to 125 psi is more than sufficient to keep the nose wheels from
collapsing if you push the airplane backwards.
The manual pump quickly lets you know you've blow a line...U can then
reverse the selector and then pump the gear back into the position you
started from....with the remaining fluid. Electric pump blowing a line mid
cycle... well you're stuck landing in what ever configuration it's left you
in because all your fluid is gone.

Hello Cecil I believe that I'm using the same lines on my floats and
they're only aproved to 200 or 250 psi. If possible you might consider
lowering the shut off pressure on your punp. The pressure reqired to keep
the gear locked is very low. Also if you lower the electric pump pressure
you can test the system at more than the normal working pressure using the
hand pump. this ensures that if a line is going to blow it will most
likely
happen during testing on the ground instead of in the air.

must add.
Im not using the factory lines.
using the csa aproved air lines for transport trucks.
2 years now, and 5-8 years for Carman Titus.
very resonable and redaly availably any where.
I can get 250 - 300 out of the hand pump if I lean on it.
