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.
