What I have been doing is this: I have both male and Female connectors on the grapple, when I disconnect, I push them together slowly without letting the collar engage and let the male and female "check balls" engage and disengage a couple of times so that they will "slobber" out some fluid, then let them come together and let the collar engage to hold them together. The Ideas is to puke out enough fluid so that there is a "deficit" of fluid in the lines, so that when it heats and expands, not much pressure will be built up in the lines.. I cannot say for 100% sure this will work on a really hot day in the sun, as that has not occured yet, but so far it has been working, and I have had no problems re-attaching.
