Suggestions on sourcing for return line stock and clips? Open to civilian stock from Napa/O'rileys etc if there is a suitable kit.

Search "HMMWV fuel return hose" on Ebay and you'll come up with return line from several places around the world. Most of the replacement hose doesn't need thos nasty little clips that kill your fingers!

I bought new clips and hoses from Mac Motors and after an hour and a half trying to get the 2 clips on I realized that I will never be able to get to the other injectors. I used the 3.5 mm push on hose. I think the engine needs to be out to change the hoses and clamps. Good luck

Return lines headaches.

Here's the POOP from my experience on the fancy, green or black, no clips, slip on, with a woven outer jacket, general web sites kits or bulk lengths. At first this magic hose seemed to work... but I had my doubts, old school guy here, time will tell, give it a try ???

A couple of years and the leaks will show up as been my experience. The ends fray, hose splits at the injector barbs, seems to rot and the cabin fills with diesel fumes while it drips on the exhaust. This played out on a return trip camping. It is not the first time seeing this on rigs the boy's and I run. CUCV's and HMMWV.

I carefully cut the braid back to get a good look. It does fray and detaches near the ends. I never had an issues with the OEM and clips... even on 30 years old engines. Do it right or keep the fire extinguisher handy. YMMV... but I'am DONE with easy magic hose.

A little note: Make the loops a bit longer so when they do go to hell... cut off an inch and go another year or two.

Funny this came up, cuz just received 12 feet of viton and changed out all of the crap hoses on three rigs. YEA, the clips are a bit fussy to wrestle with, but not bad with the right tool.

Close up of the ends. The weave is not well bonded to the hose and will separate. Here I peeled it back to expose cracking.

AC Delco GM 14066305 hose and clips 1238007 for factory or DIY... McMaster-Carr, Viton hose 5119K41 $5 a ft and matching clips 25 pack 7329K31 $3 bucks. Double check those numbers. And you paid how much for a HMMWV ??

That's been my experience with easy ass hose.

I can’t get them on with the clips. I got the slip on hose from Germany and it seems like a good quality and I believe they use it on Mercedes. Melton used the same hose you showed and it looks about the same
