Having trouble getting a 3/8 union to seal an nylon line

[bp17oang]

Probably because I think I need a 5/16 union

Dorman* has splice pigtails in both sizes.

They also have a tool.
Without it boiling water is critical.

FYI if using a compression type fitting on plastic line, in the HVAC field there is a metal sleeve that fits in the line after you put the nut & compression ring on.

  Alright!!!

Did you find the problem?
Or just power the pump directly?

Certainly makes it easy for you to get at the tanks now.  😉

That really is a bulldog of a truck.
Squat, powerful and tenacious.

I did find the problem! So the control cable from the cab was wrapped around the brake booster and the firewall and there was a lip that wore through the cable and was apparently shorting out when you hit the button.

Yeah I'm quite happy with the overall outcome at this point. I mean I barely gotten to use it at this point but it's hard to foresee much that it will not be able to do that I need it to.

That’s great! Looks handy.

Yippee!!!!

Some oak side rails should help getting those springs to maybe hit the helpers!

I see you are having issues with the picture covering the words in the post too.
Someone else was also and when I was quoting the picture would cover my words and not show anything?

Yes side panels would help

Odd. I just now see that too. Did the same spacing as I've been doing and on preview it looked spaced correctly. Sorry about that

[FuzzFace2]

I am sure its not what you did as I was doing the same thing I alway did in quotes for the other person/s thread and it did the same thing.
Site issues I guess

I always try to return (enter) twice between text and pictures, and then twice again after.
I feel it leaves a bit of whitespace, which always helps a photo stand out.

But I also try to leave a blank line between thoughts in my reply.
It's easier for me to write as well as read.

[bp17oang]

Yeah I did that like I have been. For some reason it's not formatting the same as it has.

[Gary Lewis]

How did you post it?  What buttons did you push?

Here 'tis with "float" set to "none" and the text doesn't do anything strange.  I find that it is when I try to float something other than "none" that the text gives me problems.

But since the rotation is 90 degrees CCW on your pic when I post it I'm guessing you did something tricky?

It was also happening if you qouted a post.
I did not do anything different that I have done in the past and the text was covered by their picture and none of my text would show up, it was covered some how?
It was strange

I go the button to upload the photo, click the photo, then check center and big size. Then I add in the code to turn it 90° since my photos have always loaded turned for some reason.

Then I enter in about three blank lines in the post above and below the photo, as Jim mentioned doing.

Not sure. I'm barely a hillbilly mechanic let alone an IT specialist so I'm sure it's something I'm doing.

Just testing this loading the photo from my "camera" instead of my "photos" folder...

[Gary Lewis]

If you quote a post that has a problem the problem comes with it.  And the rotation code is what is causing the problem.  Sorry, but I don't know how to fix that.

So, my suggestion is what I just suggested to Dave in another thread - use photo editing software to rotate the pic.  There are free apps for phones if that's where you want to do it.

Or, most phones have an orientation for picture taking that makes the picture work with this site.  My understanding is that on an iPhone you shoot in landscape with the volume control buttons down to do that.

I wish I could fix the site, but I can't.
