hoses manufactured by Aeroquip a Divsion of Eaton Corp. They use

in marine applications. They'll be there when I'm gone.

I didn't have to change the Generator lines as they appeared to be

fine. I wrote to Gates Rubber regarding the short life of there > product. They responded essentially admitting that the model of

used on the supply line was "not there best product". I'm puzzled

why/how Country Coach happened to use a different Gates part number

the supply line to the Hurricane than any of the other fuel hoses

coach.

fuel tank. Seems to me the hoses should last a lot longer than 5

years when it costs $8.25 and $7.25 per foot. May be wise for

you to inspect your fuel lines on your gensets if they are a few

old. I was really disgusted when I saw the lousy job the Rapid

dealer did, especially for what they charged me.
