Default Quick Disconnects/Push to Connect

I'm not a jet or turbine person, but I've come into a serious need for a fuel system quick connect or push to connect that is assured against leakage when used correctly. They would need to handle a given line size somewhere from 1/8" to 4mm, low in bulk and weight, and be able to withstand looong exposure to Jet A and JP turbine fuels. They would also need to withstand some line pressure.

That brings up another question; How much pump pressure is being used in turbine model aircraft and are you using pressure regulators?

Sure appreciate any feedback you folks will provide.
