Agreed. Gates Push-on hose is one brand, there are others. Some use them with success, but I don't recommend it. I tried them in 2005, one hose split and blew off at the fitting. That was on my first startup, after about 5 minutes of running. I cut out the split, put it back on and clamped every single hose. Then at the end of the season(it was September) I did the whole system in AN and never looked back.

I use AN nylon-braided from Jegs or Summit, all in black(I think the red/blue ones look tacky with the silver hose). It looks great and lasts, and is also up to the possible 200 psi of a cold startup. I buy the store-brand fittings. They look and work just like the expensive brands, but cost less. No matter what way you do it, you will spend hundreds on hose, fittings, and adapters. Buy the AN aluminum wrenches too. Buy once.

Besides pressure-relief oil pump covers, there are also pressure-relief oil filter mounts. Dry sump pumps have no provision for a relief-style cover. The filter mounts have 3 ports, IN, OUT, and the relief pressure port. Only applicable to the two guys on here with dry sump setups though....cough, ahem, Stan and me. JayCee makes a really nice one, I have one.
