Airdog And VP-44 Fitting
 
Has anyone else broke the fitting off the goes in the VP-44 for the incoming fuel line when they installed their AIRDOG Systems? I did this week when I went to install my FP100. I barely tightened the fitting and it snapped. So I spent the next couple hours trying to locate something close by to no avail. So I ended up calling pureflow technologies and having them over night express one to me and then ordered 2 more from Vulcan Performance to have on hand "JUST IN CASE". I started the install mid morning Wednesday and FINALLY finished up Friday late afternoon. Stinks driving a MINI VAN for 2 days :booo:

Yeah, I prefer the steel fittings as well. Chances are you just got a bad chunk of metal.

Sorry I never had this displeasure yet... I started out with the orignal Vulcan Big Line kit with all steel fittings... :U:

Would be nice to see stainless steel fitting with these kits.
