Dave, this is exactly what I have and what was at Dow. We had a special wrench at Dow that you set for various tube types, but, in the end I found you could tighten the hell out of them and it didn't matter. We had some stuff at 11,000 to 12,000 psi and it didn't have problems. The ones I have now are something like 32.50 a tee, but it would really come in handy in this spot. I can flair and do that, no problem, but I'm trying to clean up another persons mess and this would solve the problem unless I wanted to run new lines throughout the car.
