I was told it was a rare problem and I (an Engineer) said that the design flaw would result in near 100% failure. The seal at the tubing connection was aluminum and the fitting steel. This causes corrosion due to the dielectric effect of two dissimilar metals in contact by a galvanic process.

To he who ripped me the new a$$, BITE ME!
