When you mention other hoses you have had made - I assume you mean the fuel lines and such? Those turn to :poop: and fall off as black powder.
These are what the 3 fuel lines from the tank look
Like. Return line is ugly. Supply line looks like a replacement. The vent line was just open ended and folded over, buried under the tire. Shouldn't that have a breather on the end? I was curious on that

My vent line was also open and folded over. 07 A1R

What about the two lines after the water separator and before the return?
Yes I've already had 2 those remade. Those were average looking and the boss o rings on the HEUI are flat looking, so replacing. I'm in a mode right now, if I remove a line for any reason, it gets tossed. O rings too. However most of the large coolant lines look fairly new. Every Cat I own has been an exercise in hose and o ring replacement. I just had to do 10 o-rings and a pilot line on the backhoe hydraulics. Simple things but ultra critical.

I'm putting one of those brass breathers on the vent line. See pic. Anyone think there's issues with that? Seems weird to have it just be an open ended hose. Got all the new ones today. Fancy
