where are your valves mounted at? how did you manage to get a hole so close to the fitting?
hard lines are a good idea but they are pretty expensive, not to mention you'll need a pipe bender.
i had something similair happen on my old car. did notice the leader hose for the front back was rubbing on my tie rod and it managed to put a hole in the hose. thank god i was near a cvs. i grab duct tape, wrapped the hose and had to keep hitting the switch every minute to keep the car up but it worked to get me home lol.

I did 
My valves are behind the seats, I have the tank in the trunk and I guess, this is just a guess: That the remote wire from the amp(which was not completely protected) made contact with the wire from the pressure switch(also wasnt protected) which sent a spark to the hose.. Thats the only reasonable explanation I find..
Anyways, Its all a learning process I guess. I have gone through other crap since I posted this, but I have been gaining experience as well. I love my suspension by the way! The car is a looker when its rolling slammed

Try having this happen while your driving...Not once but twice. This is a prime example of you get what you pay for. This is the result of an "airbagit.com" kit. I was told the back and forth motion of making turns caused the bolt to unscrew itself from the strut but stay in place within the strut mount (not pictured). I have no idea why it's designed this way but it was scary as hell driving on a winding road at about 40mph or so and then pop you lose air in one corner and come to find out the strut isn't even secured to the car. I definitely did some damage because the corner now looks to be really cambered so I don't know if I bent or snapped something. It was also like pulling teeth trying to get a replacement air strut.
