You guys feel he should be liable? I am not holding my breath. I had 500 miles on at most on this new hose
Yeah, I'd be pissed, over there demanding an explanation and what they're going to do about it...
@PaulEllis- sorry to see that. A braided line failed- was it rubbing somewhere, or did a swedged fitting come apart? I hope you're back on the road soon.
@Eric (McGruff)- Yeah, relocating the cooler and shortening the lines up is a good idea for several reasons. If going to braided stainless steel, think about the teflon lined hoses. It'll be a little more work getting the right fittings and mocking it up (use some cheaper rubber hose), but more than worth it, as you'll never have to give them a 2nd glance again.
And have a look at the fittings you're using- I've heard certain brands are more restrictive. A while a go a guy on the Samba was saying he'd had to drill the passageway through a couple of fittings bigger to ensure proper flow. With #8 hose I believe the minimum opening through any fitting should be 3/8"
