Well it came to bite me with age now. All my original AirDog hoses from way back in 2005 (I think) now started a leak on the line between the stock filter to the VP44. Most likely from being messed with during the gauge install. So the truck is parked for the time being and Eric is sending me a 14 foot roll of Parker Fuel line for my truck I'm going to replace all my fuel lines.

i guess not everything get better with age. sounds like a fun project awaits you.

Not bad. Just slice the hose peel the old push lock's out and then re-insert them in the new line. Maybe one hour to do.

Yeah. My fuel hoses won't win any beauty contest either. They are full of cracks in the outer layers but they are not leaking. I have some spare fuel hose for small repairs but eventually I will have to replace all of the fuel hose lines from the fuel tank up to the injector pump.

My "Big line kit" from the stock fuel filter to the IP is cracking the outer after almost a year. It confounds me, as I have used blue "Parker" hose on marine applications & it lasts for well over a decade without the cracking/checking.

14 foot of Parker Super flex fuel hose is now here. Also ordered a 17 PSI AirDog spring. I'll know my fuel system will be up to snuff this weekend.

9 years is pretty good, considering the cost of that hose. Really good I guess, considering how many junk products are on the market these days.

From the fuel tank looking forward. Yes. I kept the old return line from the AirDog to the filler neck. But replaced all pressure and suction lines.
