I have chronic problems with the air hose fittings connecting a PowerTank to my ARB and other tools. I've got the 'T' style fittings and I suspect dust is the culprit, but I'm not sure. My questions:
Are there any reliability differences between the 'M' and 'T' fittings?
Are there brands you'd recommend? Against?
Is there a solution I can use to keep them sealing tight?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.I use air fitting for Semi's. There a ton of different shapes and sizes. No leaks and they pop apart very easily.
Did you know that truck scales have microphones and the listen for air leaks and side line leaky trucks. These fittings are by far the best out there come is sizes from 1/8" to 3/4" There are 90's and Tees as well
Sorry I don't know what they cost I get them for free <IMG SRC="smilies/eyemouth.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eyemouth.gif" border="0">

Thanks, Scout. Could you get those at a truck stop? Do you have a brand name I could search for?
