    I had a old Volvo with the push in connections they always seamed to hiss alittle no matter how hard I tried to fix them. Even Volvo said they were a pain and not to bother trying too hard.

    My 2010 Volvo 630 sat for 45hrs and I came back to 60psi left in primary. That's a win in Volvo world

    I had a new FL and Fontaine trailer.

    It didn't hold air with both valves pulled out. And FL couldn't find a leak.

    Ouch. If your state has lemon laws for vehicle purchases, look into it for the truck.

    Nothing makes the manager put their top mechanic on a problem vehicle like threatening to return it under lemon laws.

    They discovered that, though every state has a “lemon law” protecting new car buyers from defective vehicles, most laws have little to no application to commercial trucks. ... Under lemon law, the manufacturer of the truck – not the engine or transmission, for instance – is the liable party to whom claims are made.

    And it was a company truck. To which they get traded in every 3 years.

    I don't know how, what, or why. But he goes through england. Or some party with england.

    I came home over 2 years ago. So it's not my concern. And he's probably traded it in by now.
