After  seeing  the mind-boggling array of weird hose bits in there, my
conclusion was that the best way to deal with that problem was to just buy
one of each hose as a spare--- then install them all as a preventative
measure. I carry an assortment of hose clamps and a roll of rubber tape, but
preventative maintenance is the only sure-fire plan. Inspect and replace the
questionable parts.
