Yeah, I bought that piece of chinese crap and barely performed 3 full tests before it broke. once cold, once warm, and again after soaking the cylinders in MMO, and driving it around for a day or two. on the third time, the fittings started going out and the hose started leaking.

I resent that "U.S. General" exports jobs to import this kind of garbage into the USA.

needless to say i took it back and explained (politely) in so many words that the device was a failure and got my money back. i have only myself to blame for my disappointment though as i recall thinking while inspecting the purchase in the car, "hmm why do they have three copies of the same attachment?" ... 2 weeks later ... "ahh, because the attachments are of inferior quality and the manufacturers know that"
