    Wow, that's being thorough! Obviously you have determined that it saves a lot of problems after installation
    in troubleshooting where air might me coming from. I will do the same!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I like the idea of reusable ends and cutting hose to length. But I am a complete failure at the reassembling without damaging the inside of the new hose. I have even gone so far as to use Frey Wheel Lube pry to reassembly. Btw the wheel lube is a super slippery thin lube used to mount tires. The hose still goes to pot in time and will begin restricting the flow. Any tricks would be greatly appreciated. I have considered using Stratoflex but I haven’t been able to find it by Google.
     
    SAR Thanks this.

    213 series hose(stratoflex) I use 21 series fittings. Just use lube with motor oil.

    I cut hose with a die grinder with abrasive cut-off wheel. I always tape hose with electrical tape to prevent hose from fraying. Parker has installation instructions in back of their catalogs.

    I have to agree that it sounds like a fuel line issue.
