Push lock fittings

[Drew Dalgleish]

Hi Guy's Here's the prommised push loc fitting report. I changed the
fitting on my right float brake caliper a couple weeks ago. With the old
parflex line that has been on the floats since they were new and is now
very stiff I couldn't get the fitting to seal at all. leaked like crazy
right from the start. So I changed the tubing for some of the DOT aproved
stuff. Then I had a seal no leaks no problems. Flew around for a week and a
half without spilling a drop Then yesterday I went into the hangar and
found a big puddle under my right wheel. I don't know what caused the
fitting to start leaking just sitting there but it looks like I'll be
changing back to a regular compression fitting unless anyone has other
suggestions.
