My research on the Rescue Tape indicated to me it is a good product to have around. Although it seems it is not intended to be necessarily permanent. Also the complaints about the tape have been when it was applied wet and under high pressure.
I have fixed many polyethylene water lines with a piece of rubber and a hose clamp. These repairs have lasted for years, even under pressure.
Whenever I make a plumbing repair or am concerned about the number of water lines in an area, If possible, I like to place a pan below the area in question. Then I put a cheap water alarm in the pan. This practice has saved me much time and expense.

I also work hard to fight the desire to be a perfectionist. So if I have a problem, I try to resist the temptation to replace the whole system or vehicle. I believe we can go overboard on these repairs. But that is just me on my stuff.
