Anyone ever use Super Glue on leaking air line?

No.
Razor blade, 2 butt connectors, 1 ft. of hose.
Put a sleeve over repair so no more chaffing.
Takes about 5 minutes.

 

Y’all don’t carry the DOT approved air brake line fittings and a few feet of new air line ?

And a new gladhand lines ?

Patching an air line has saved me a lot of money when I was driving .

 

and spare curly lines

 

Back in the day I was more a plumber and electrician.. about every other week, the water pump pulleys on the old detroit would eat the air lines and or the electrical cord... or the trailer would shear off the coolant lines.. I carried all that stuff cause I wanted to go home and not want 4-5 hours for the shop monkeys to drive to wherever I was. Either fix it right or your wasting your time and just asking for an OOS violation

 

For emergency air line repairs on the road, I used duct tape, wrapped at least 2x around, then small hose clamps on either side of the break. Will hold 120 psi almost indefinitely.

 

Curly fries? Seasoned?

 

I have used super glue to stop the air leak around a nail in the tread of a drive tire. This isn't a long-term solution, but it held for the rest of the night until the mechanics got to the shop in the morning.

 

I have done this a couple of times in the past when I didn't have any air line push connect fittings with me. The only thing I did different was that I cut a patch from a piece of larger diameter air line and used the super glue to secure the patch and then I wrapped a rubber hose around it to prevent any more rubbing and chafing.

Good on you for making it work.

 

As others have said typically quick connects and spare hose are the correct way to do it. Sometimes though you gotta improvise to get it down the road. And if it works it works.

That said over time as airlines fail ive been swapping them out for hydraulic lines and heavy duty fittings. Then coating the connectors with clear fingernail polish to help slow corrosion. Seems a cheaper and better long term solution lol. At least when downtime and potential roadside repairs are factored in
