[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 567937, member: 1997"] I am also a heavy equipment mechanic. I see hose failure 2-3 days a week. 80% of the failures are due to routing/rubbing, 20% leaking stems. Heat and pressure cycling are always major factor. I would be willing to bet that nearly all of our rigs have hoses that are zip tied into place, which leaves a good chance of rubbing. I have used hard lines on my buggy and cost me a race due to failures. The lines broke right behind the tube sleeve. Lines were clamped to the chassis. All flex from here on out. For me I prefer 100 % to have something I can repair at anytime without need for much more that hand tools. I actually carry a section of hose longer than my longer hose for those just in case moments. [/QUOTE]
