This is the one place where the larger US hose is a problem. However the 
larger hose will fit thru the bulkhead grommet with some difficulty. You can 
lubricate the OD of the hose with WD-40 if you like, that may help a bit. This 
grommet often gets left out and I don't usually see any problems from that, 
but I prefer to see that protection in place.

WD-40 will give no long term protection at all. See if you can find a hardware 
store or industrial supply house that has LPS-3, instead. The more common 
LPS-1 is no better for this than WD-40.

Just a reminder to everyone: For the sake of bandwidth and the archives, 
please delete unnecessary quoted material from your posts to the list.
