Fass Issues

[GSP7]

Anybody know what hose your kit came with ?

 

My fass came with IIRC Parker Jiffy Flex #7161 or Parker Jiffy #7212

 

Which , talking with Eric at Vulcan, is just a cheaper general purpose hose, not the best

 

Has anyone have hose that is older have surface cracking on the blue outer material?

 

I worked on a guys truck with a older fass and his parker blue color hose was all dried up cracked looking on the outer blue material. Though his truck was caked in dried mud and rocks evyrywhere underneath and never cleaned. Could of been coated with dried mud/water slury that made it look all cracked

I ran 1/2" line all the way to the front I just have a small section off the tank that is 3/8". I wouldn't think that would hurt the pickup is 5/16". Do you have the name of the manager you talked to at fass,there are some real bozes there. They think I may be bleeding down and sucking air from the factory pipe dope they use on the suction side,so I am going to pull it out and redo it. I guess its possible but i dont have any leaks.He also said put new filters on,just want I want to do is but 2 filters on a system that is a week old.

It will put stress on the pump pulling a hard vacuum all the time. Neither FASS or AirDog isn't really designed for 3/8" hose.

Not sure if you installed shut off valves or not.  I can isolate every section of hose I have.  About $5.00 each...then remove fitting then screw in a "tank plug" fitting and put in 25 pounds of air to find any leaks.  For viewing inside tank at bulk head fitting bore scope hooked up to cell phone.
