Thanks but I only get credit for posting pics and being the
Lab Rat in the experiment.
In my original thread there is a bunch of pro and con arguments. In one of the Posts a Member comments on how the Slip Fit Type hose is used in commercial Boating applications and I have seen many similar uses on Big Rig Trucks and Heavy Equipment. So, it is not a new idea.
However, you have to be willing to take the time to find the right components and do a good installation. However, I realize that it is also means it is not the solution for everyone.

Diesel 911,
I did not forget the hose pedigree request. It just took a while to move things in my garage to get to the spare piece.
Here are the markings:
Aerogroup FC598-10
Exceeds SAE 100 R6
This hose had enough "give" in it so I could it over the barbs. I used heavy duty stainless worm clamps bought from the same hydraulic shop that sold the hose. If I had need or inclination to do the job over again, I would use T-bolt clamps or MB issue worm clamps that are not perforated. However, this hose is so tough the perforations do not chew up the hose surface like perforated worm clamps do to fuel or coolant hoses.
Good hunting,
Joe Marroso
