How does an airline crack or the 12 time. I could see if it was crazy cold and cracking while turning. I had them rub together and you might see the wear from them rubbing together. Their must be more to the story then 12 time the air line keep cracking.
I guess if you did not hit anything then nothing to worry about. Put another set of air lines on and keep going.

Years ago, I was introduced to an attractive woman who by the age of 30 had been married 5 times, and 4 out of 5 husbands had put her in the hospital. A mutual female friend of our told me that "all she needs is a good man." I walked.

It’s ripping INSIDE the compression fitting?
1 time it happened on the street like I said it’s never happened like this.
The line has slack so it SHOULDNT be happening.
Edit: the only way to check would be for me to unscrew the compression fitting after every time I’ve made a 90* turn.
Like I said maybe I am a bad driver but I don’t think so.
ive only ever scuffed a bumper on dirt, had a mirror chipped by another driver, I rubbed a sign with no damage when I was fresh out of school. It’s not like I’m out playing crash up derbyAttached Files:
