Need a proper lube product for fuel rubber hose to a barbed hose fitting that is tight.
Thanks

Assuming you need something to help the hose slip onto the fitting.

DOH!, thanks Tom.
Just didn't want to effect the fitting application

...ie... leakage
 
Is it OK to heat up the hose with a heat gun to facilitate installation?

better to use very hot water.The heat gun can mess up the hose

Take the windscreen off and turn the car on it's side. It'll fit. :cooler:
 
Uh Oh... Any one know how to get tire marks off the door jam before SWMBO gets home.?
 
Hmmmm... How long do you let it soak
Maybe my fitting is to big
 
I remember one year on a lead-up to Family Camp for our Church, we put my 1949 Willys street rod in the foyer.
Had folks waiting around afterwards to see how we got it out. I told them we removed the roof tiles and lowered it in by ropes.
Removed the mirrors, both sides, used motorcycle straps to squeeze the tailpipes together, removed the doors to the Church, and rolled it out with less than 1/2" to spare.
If I can do it, YOU can do it!

Yea, bad advice 5/16 inch hose and 6AN fitting.
Told the guy I thought 6AN was 3/8's
