The much maligned "plastic fittings" leak only because after 30-40 years, the o-rings (which actually do the sealing) sometimes compress a little and may not provide a perfect seal. A few dollars worth of o-rings will restore the sealing properties and save the time and expense of replacing all those fittings. While on the road, a dab of silicon grease on the offending fitting's o- ring may allow you to finish the trip with no leak. Our 77 Eleganza, with "plastic fittings" will stand "proud & tall" for weeks with no leaks.

Just what I have found... John
