Im just going to buy an assortment of compression and push to connect fittings comes in a carrying case and keep it in the truck and be done with it. Im sure I'll still need to buy some other fittings though. Instead of running around like an idoit wasteing time and money.

I carry both kinds.
I use Push on if I need fixed quick. Replace later.
Compression first time if I can take my time. -

I use both, really what ever I have at the time. My 97 international has all push fittings on every valve in the truck, and 99.9% of them are still on it. I never had any trouble with them leaking even when I reuse them.
If I am at the shop I will use a compression fitting, but if I am crawling around under one at 30 below during a blow out on the tundra, you can bet your bippy that if I have a push fitting, that is what I am going to use. lol
I have had good luck in an emergency using a comp fitting without a ferrel by taking a lighter and heating the end until it curls over a little, probably not a long term deal, but will get you home.Carolina Dreamer Thanks this.
