Fittings
Trying to figure out why coach would leak down some air , started looking and there it was , where liberty modifies the level low system in steering bay they join the blue air line with push in fitting to black air line hidden in behind lots of other hoses hard to find , put comp fitting in and all good , have looked at a lot of others Libertys and they all have the same thing , that is bullshit , so easy to put in comp fitting and never have to worry about it , I am not, saying all Libertys have that but all the ones I have looked at do , hope this helps!!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that push in fittings are better than compression fittings initially.
Assembly is significantly easier and there is less likely going to be an issue with a leak because someone got the ferrule in a compression fitting a little twisted or over or under tightened. But as the push in fittings age they suck.They begin to leak and rarely are the leaks easy to find. It is the one bubble per minute type of leak, but when you consider the total number of fittings on our coaches even a minute leak in every fitting adds up to a huge rapid air loss.
Once a compression fitting is in place and leak free it will never pose a problem.
