Which is better? I want to convert more of my truck to PTC, some of my truck already has them. SD has a good selection, but anywhere else for the same price or cheaper, what about locally? Also, I'm thinking about disconnecting my tank pressure gauge inside the cab so I can run higher pressure without blowing that gauge. what do ya'll think? The guy from SD told me their fittings are rating max at 1100 psi. I want to try to run at least 350 just to see what will happen. Also, my truck is on stands for a while till I get them, and its already got cobwebs under it and on the inside somehow

spend the money and buy a roll of type L copper and the fittings from ekstensive. there is a place on ebay where you can order, T's, 90's and unions all 1/2 inch with free shipping. my truck has been bagged since 01 and the last 3 years have been with copper and no major problems

well those are my ptc fittings,
it all depends on how your system is set up. ive redone trucks in copper where i pulled out about 45ft of dot airline, bought a 60ft of copper and only used about 30ft, the customer was happy little to no leaks...
