I have heard of a number of the hoses failing, but never heard of a stainless steel line failing. The best price is direct from KCM, who manufactures the SS line for ITP.

I just tried to install that hose and gave-up. Did anyone have any clearance issues with the fuel lines going to the fuel filter/bowl? Are there any good instructions out there that also have pictures? I think I will just ditch the hose and get that SS Line instead. I have an (early) '99 F250. Thanks and sorry for the hijack.

That is the proper location to install the crossover hose? I was trying to do it at the front port on the passender side; right where the 2 fuel feed lines are mounted. Thank you very much for the picture. Were you able to notice a difference?

Hey guys, thanks for all the info/help. I just ordered the SS Line. It seems a lot easier than I originally thought to install. I just coulnd't in good concience install the rubber hose. I went to tech school for Hydraulics and have done a lot of hydraulic repair. There is no substitute for good old metal tube; especially when it is a very critical part of your engine and exposed to that extremely harsh environment. Thanks again.

Yeah, me too. I bought the rubber hose to save on shipping and because I didn't know about the SS one until I purchased the rubber one. I have been sitting on it for too long to try and return it, but I refuse to put it in because I know I will be worrying about it for the next few years. My ultimate goal for my truck is to make it the most reliable vehicle anyone has ever owned. I still have a lot of work to do, but that is for another thread all together.

I think that I will sell it on E-Bay. Good idea.
I'm sure that these hoses will last for years. I have just replaced more flexible hoses in the 2 years I have been in hydraulic service than I can count. They all get dried out and brittle; let alone melt. Anything involving high temperatures use a metal tube if at all possible. I have only had to replace a few metal tubes in my life and that is because of a fire. I worry about everything as is.
