Air Conditioning line cuts self

[JStankus]

A couple of weeks ago my air conditioning quit working. After a bit of trouble shooting I found that the crimp on the line leading to the condenser rubbed the liquid line leading away from the condenser and cut through letting out all the refrigerant. Replaced the liquid line and things seem to be running fine now, but thought others might have the same issues.



In the attached picture you should be able to see the crimp and cut it made into the liquid line. This is on the passenger side of the radiator in front of the air filter box. The liquid line is the aluminum pipe going up and down in the picture.

Those hoses are pretty tight, I have been worried about mine since the install of the banks intercooler. I already have a slight cut in the liquid line from the aftermarket airbox. Now I got one more place to check.
