i have a great UAT by Intairco, and i have never used anything but barb fittings (with safety wire on tube) in fear of Festo Quick fittings leaking air into the fuel when used on the suction side.

In my latest installaion (Ultra Lightning with ATJ 220SV) the use of Festo 90 degree Quick Connect elbows would make the installation much neater.

So - pros and cons of these festos?
share your experience please.

thanks.

This has recently been picked over so do not expect a big response. You will either get a firm no it is not ok from some and yes ok from others. Why not set your engine system up on a test bench and run it up to full power with Festo fittings to prove it one way or the other, this would be a real benefit to others. The Intairco trap is clear so you can really see what is happening.
