thanks for this thread Jack lol, i was just testing my kit for leaks lastnite, and found out it was leaking from both ends on my Flow sensor... i will try this method and see if i see any changes... Richard, as always pointed me on the right direction, hope this fixes the issue

 

NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWICE. so i did exactly what Jack said and it all works well. no more leaks...

 

Glad that my trick helped I ordered some replacement lines from grainger.com and I'm actually getting around to installing them today. Hopefully they don't leak lol.

 

Question. Any reason why us meth guys are not using this stuff from McMaster-Carr? Would it work with our applications with quick connects? Thicker walls than the regular tubing I'm used to. Has the Teflon FPA included.

 

I had a lot of leaking on my intercooler sprayer of my old srt4 and i bought hoses from www.smallparts.com

Maybe this will help anyone with leaking issues.

 

Thats actually the stuff I bought. I forgot I got it from McMaster-carr and not Grainger. My work buys a TOn of stuff from both compaines and I forgot...my bad.

 

please ensure your replacement hose is 4mm OD, 5/32" is the nearest.

A 1/8" hose cannot have 1/16" wall thickness...

 

1/8" ID 1/4" OD cannot have a 1/16" wall thickness?

 

Sorry, I mis-read for 1/8 OD hose.

Most of the leak hose is on the 4mm. Do thay sell metric hose in teflon?

 

They sure do.

$1.65 per Ft
4mm OD
2mm ID
1mm wall thickness
Available in 10/20/50' lengths for purchase

$2.52 per ft
6mm OD
4mm ID
1mm Wall Thickness
5/10/20/50' Lengths for purchase

 

Yeah I got the 4mm and 6mm Teflon PFA. They only offer 2 types in those sizes if I remember correctly and one handles higher heat temps or something.

 

So this is the one that's leaking or you placed a order for?

 

The replacements I ordered. I just installed the 4mm sections yesterday but didn't have time to do a leak test yet.

 

I ordered a set for myself yesterday. We'll see how it goes and if this is the solution over the homedepot stuff not meant for meth use.

 

Well....just pressure tested the new 4mm lines. Leaking like crazy. Seriously pissed. I love the fact that I dont feel confident enough to use my setup without it spraying meth everywhere.

Richard, are all of the 4mm quick-connect fittings used in your kit from the same manufacturer (the fittings on the flow sensor,HSV and tee fitting)?
