All,
Has anyone had luck on a repair of a small crack/pin-hole in a pneumatic line? Tips and advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hoot (Hank?),
Replace the entire line or cut out the leak area and use a male/male
splicer and 2 nuts. I can help with both.
Always Yakin,
Doug

It is highly recommended you fabricate a replacement line and not try
repairing it.

Dennis is right, you start putting repair fittings in hard lines, either fluid or pneumatic and you end up chasing leaks, sorta like flying on a CH-47D, check the fuel and top off the hydraulic fluid.

Hank,
I agree, replacement is the best way. I have a ton of hard lines all
in a big tangled pile, so take a photo and give me the total length.
Always Yakin,
Doug

Hoot,
Replace it. You are only prolonging your agony!

There is one repair that I have seen work that I will pass on here. If your crack or leak is in a flare, you can do a very good emergency repair by putting in a layer of teflon tape and then wrenching it back down. It'll get you home, even with 3000 psi in the lines.

Walt, you are absolutely correct. It is not really a good idea to do this. However, the military has been doing it on hydraulic lines forever, and it is still being done today. I guess it all depends on get-home-itis!
