You'll hear people saying they used compression fittings on brake line and they never had problems. When you work for repair shop the last thing you want to hear is that the brake line repair job you did failed and killed a family of 4. Compression fittings might be fine for an ice maker line, but heck no on brake lines where the pressure is in the thousands of PSI.

Ford Man,
First off, don't post to old threads as they send out notifications to a lot of people that don't want to receive them.
Second, don't contradict safety advice given by Moderators with years of experience here
Third, do not post links.
