Re: 55 Packard Transmission Cooler Mockup ?

Here's the problem: If a rubber line on the gas line ruptures then the engine simply quits. Fix the line and there is still plenty of gas in the tank to carry on with.

If a rubber line for lubrication breaks then all of the oil is pumped out in short order, especialy with a rear pump as in the T'Ultra. So if u carry enuf SPARE trans fluid the ruptureing of the rubber line is not a big issue except for the possibility of burning up the trans. Most prudent people do not carry enuf spare trans fluid to fill an empty trans.

It's not like a fuel line hose. Fuel line is under vacuum. Lube lines are under pressure or pumping action.

Unfortunately, there is no way to use solid lines to the brakes for obvious reasons.
