The main reason compression tubing fittings fail is because of improper installation - usually over-tightening. A close second is over-tightening during reassembly. Follow the manufacturer's procedure for installing the fittings (usually hand-tight plus 1/8 to 1/2 turn depending on size) and you will have very few leaks. When re-assembling, just snug the nut up - it doesn't have to be as tight as many people think.
