Re: quick disconnect

Why don't you just convert to 3/8. That's what I'm in the process of doing. The male and female QDs are available atWalmart.

Re: quick disconnect

I would convert them as Scotiany sugjested. But if you decide to convert, do what I did on mine, and just convert everything over to Merc "push-twist" type.<br />The Chrysler "air chuck" style are reliable, but develop air leaks easier, and are a total pain trying to switch-out tanks at night.

Jeez, 12 Footer, I wish I would have known about the Mercury fittings before I bought all these Chrysler QDs.

Sure, but you must get a good airtight seal. That is vital.
