It seems to have bulged and gone kinda funny, even though it is a fluromaster (however you spell it) rubber pipe.I redone up the hose clamps, to the best I could as its in a really sh*t spot! So I will see how long that lasts for now :(I might get some more pipe and better clamps as the clamps I got with it cut into the pipe.Thanks for the help guys, you had the diagnosis down pat pretty much!

Fraud?Mate, read my thread that I linked earlier on. The only line to use is the Gates one if you don't want to be pulling the pump out time after time. I've seen all sorts of attempts at this and fixed a couple of both jobs. The gates hose will not kink if you measure and cut it right so that the pump holder sits at the bottom of the tank. Measure the depth of the tank and height of the pump cradle and work out how long the hose needs to be so when you install the pump cradle it only compresses about 5-10mm until you get a seal at the top of the tank.

The ute pump assembley is a fair bit taller so its always out, hose kinking will not be an issue.They only problem I am having is doing up the hose clamp on the top of the assembley.I can barely get the screw driver up there without sliding the clamp done & making it ineffective.

Open ended spanner is they way to go, 1/4 of a turn at a time. My clamps had a 6mm head on them from memory and you should be able to slip a ring spanner on there easily too. Don't over-tighten the clamps. Tighten them enough so they bite into the line without cutting into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have used a spanner to start with (slaps forehead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
