There is no tape on the compression end of the fittings but one of them has also leaked, so was that side just not sealed well or should there be teflon tape on the compression fittings as well? > > 3. Is there torque values to shoot for or do I just snug this stuff up real well? The compression fitting ferrule technically should be used only once. They are probably the type with the compression ferrule captive in the compression nut. They are inexpensive. I admit I have reused some. The key is probably that they were not over tightened on the first use. A general rule is hand tight plus one full turn. My builder's manual says, "Just tight enough that the tubing cannot be pulled from the fitting with a firm (but not fierce) tug". -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=258646#258646 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:19:38 PM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Green Bay area Kitfox's From: "corbob13" Andy, Looks like I missed you.
