Re: [T3] cloth covered fuel hose
<x-flowed>
I *love* the way it looks and fits. At first I didn't
believe other people who complained of the quality problems.
However, the last several batches I bought leaked WAY too soon --
both the smaller carb and larger f.i. versions. I personally gave up
on it after the dang stuff failed again and again on my cars.
I now only buy the "American" style embedded-cloth variety.
Some people like the cloth variety because they say it's easy
to spot the location of leaks by looking for wet cloth. Well, I
guess I'd like to go with hose that's less likely to leak in the
first place; ymmv.
Hm, maybe the stuff direct from the VW dealer is better. The
hose I was buying was German from Rocky Mountain (RIP). I'd love to
know if the hose you got at the dealer is still holding up after 12,
18, or 24 months.
