Agreed. Looks like I need to place an order for some new hose and bands. Too bad, that was a lot of expensive hose that's now trash. At least I learned a valuable lesson without burning the car down. Aeromotive shows their push lock hose is suited for fuel in it's brochures. I bought the hose because I bought their fittings. So off it comes and new hoses will be built before it drives anywhere again.

That's 11 hoses in my fuel plumbing. All under 3 feet or so but still a lot of hose. I might buy the Kool Tool push on hose kit to do that many hoses again. I had a sore shoulder last time trying to get the hoses on all the way. Even with lube that Aeromotive hose is stiff.

The gates hose is real easy to push on compared to some other brands. I have tried some pushlok that was so tight, I gave up.

Thanks. I'll look for the Gates stuff.

Otherwise I'd have to buy this from Kool Tools.... If I did this professionally, I'd buy this in a minute!

Of course, my motto is "there's no job worth doing that doesn't require a new tool" so.... I might buy it anyway. LMAO

The Kool Tools has heaps of bad reviews, I've heard. Anyone have any experience with install tools?

I see from your tag you like wiring. PM me if you have done any SSR work. I did quite a bit in this build and it was interesting

I have one of those Kool Tools. Works fine for what I use it for.

I'm using Hot Rod Fuel hose on this project, he has been stellar with his service , the product is very nice, and prices decent. Does anybody else have any reviews of him?

Thanks for costing me money... Very cool tool, now just need a project to try it on.

I bought a few of these push on fittings, havnt used them yet but I will when I swap my engine to efi in the next few weeks. My question is how to attach the soft line to the hard fuel lines that already exist in the truck? I'm sure I cant just slip the love over the hard line and use some clamps, I would think it would leak under efi pressures.

Just a quick review for the Kool Tools equipment. My coworker bought two different tools from them. The one for the push lock type hoses, and the one for AN style braided hoses. I used both when plumbing my car and I can tell you from first hand I would never want to plumb a car without them again. A huge time saver and did not ruin or make any trouble once.

I also used their tool for brake line fitting that laps the ends to make sure you have leak free connections. This tool also did its job perfectly. All stainless brake lines and fittings and not a single leak afterword.

I give them a complete thumbs up rating.
