Re: [ST] Tank quick disconnect failure
Interesting this topic is coming up. I noticed a gas smell but saw no fluid until I looked at the area. I saw wetness on the hoses. It does appear it's coming from the female devices. I must have ridden her too hard ;-) (couldn't resist)
Actually I think it's been inserted and extracted too many times. It is a tight fit and not much room once connected. There seems to be alot of stress/tension at the mating end. If I have to replace the female side this time, I'm going to give a bit more hose slack to release the tension.
