Oily CCV mod hose
I noticed this the other day when I was poking around under the hood- the hose is oily as it starts to climb over the brake booster for a surprising amount of length. I tightened up the hose clamp, which wasn't loose by any means but not snug either. Normal, nothing to worry about or is something up?

If its just heater hose and has been on for awhile it can start leeching through it on the end. Heater hose works fine, thats what I have, but it isn't rated for petroleum.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Was the hose oil resistant? Strange.

I think that you got it Clay. Heater hose is not rated for petroleum products.

Are you sure the clamps are tight or not to tight from restriction, why I ask is I have heater hose and mines fine. I have a foot long piece on the end going half way down connected to the ground thats garden hose and thats ok to Chase, just a thought...

Your going to laugh but I used some Caflex or elecrical non metallic liquid tite. It is rated to be used in oily locations. It's all I had laying around when I did the mod. I also ran mine right down and not over the MC. I was consecned about condensation freezing in there.

My approach is almost a straight run that keeps the hose near the engine and tranny and terminates just past the tranny. I also recommend not using heater hose!

I used a 3/4" ID thick wall vinyl hose that is part of the "Sewer Solution" jet pump system, see the links below.
This is the complete system and it's the way to go if you RV! ...Sewer Solution- High velocity water jet pulls sewage from the RV sewer pipe and ejects it out the discharge hose... http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=16617&src=SRQB
Sewer Solution - 10' Extension The price for a 10' Extension piece like I used works out to $2.25 per ft.
