and all this time I was thinking you had problems install the stickers
I hope so also. I called UAS and their computers are down so I'm expecting them to call me back to purchase those few fittings.
LOL....I can never get those stickers perfectly straight! I have yet to put those on, but plan on it soon-ish. We go back to the field next weekend. Wooo!!
I purchased the kit used, and all fittings are assembled. I found the leaks and cracks while testing all the fittings with soapy water. I dont know if Tyson overlooked the crack or FEDEX didn't care for the package so well. Either way, it's all good. I stopped by an air/hydraulic auto shop here locally and the owner referred me to the loctite liquid. I am using this liquid in conjuction with tape to ensure there are no issues. I will use the technique you suggested to ensure I dont crack one of the fittings installing it back.mexillis wrote:Sucks that you had problems with some fittings. I think every first timer installing bags runs into that. Be sure not to over tighten them and crack the tank. Some tips would be to make it hand tight then go over with soapy water bottle and go over the fittings that make bubbles. Idk how far you got into it but loctite 545 is really good to make a proper seal and I redid all my fittings instead of using Teflon tape once I found out about it. Is there any reason for going with 1/2 lines? Have you been in a ride with that size before?
The kit I purchased had all fittings and wiring all assembled. I am using his fittings but replaced the beatup 1/2" line that came in the kit. How will the 1/2" lines affect my ride? I plan on using both inlets on the VU4 with 1/2" lines also. Thanks!
