[QUOTE="Cadder61, post: 167713, member: 4283"] Sorry for the late reply, was away for a couple of days. Thanks for the comments, I will be checking my hose routing again to be sure.. In checking how the new hoses compare to my old ones, the pressure is similar in thickness but the return is considerably thinner walled which I think is the main issue - just doesn't have the thickness to hold a sharper curve and kinks (the pressure does not kink). On both ends, pump and valve, the hoses are static and do not move in relation to each other, so was thinking about zip tying the two hoses together in two or three spots nearer the centers so that the return has to keep the same curve as the pressure. Saw this suggestion on another forum for the same issue but of course no one posted if it actually worked. I'll try lots of clearance checking in-shop before going out on the road and will update the results here... [/QUOTE]
