Quick Connect Meth Leak

[askoncemore]

Make sure to check your quick connect fittings... mine just started leaking(badly) all over my manifold.

I think the o-rings lost their elasticity.

Running 80/20 mix for about a year

Going to braided steel with real fittings after this issue.

Hopefully the pump doesn't need rebuilding for some time.

Supposedly the fittings and pump are 100% methanol compatible.... not so with the fittings.

Pumps have an average life expectancy of 2-3yrs. I found that out the hard way as you recall Manu.

There's a thread somewhere here about it. Best to purchase a 2nd pump to have on standby, as well as to minimize down time.

Sage advice, Mike.  Supposedly you can buy an "upgraded" kit that is more "methanol-resistant" at initial POS, don't know if it's really true tho.  But yeah, definitely, your SHO's setup is a true proving ground for mods   Great info in your install HOWTO thread -
