tow, totally impractical I don't think they would last long with oil in them. Incidentally I run Citroen LHM hydraulic oil in my system.

loucel, picture shows relay used and Festo for retract cylinders 5mm thread 4mm hose. Barb fittings are more than adequate, the system uses around 160psi although these pumps will deliver 275psi so be careful you can burst the neoprene hose, that's why I use nylon hose.
So...If you blow a line or fitting you have oil, not air, all over the inside of your model? [:'(]
