Subject:PS Hose kit - a tale corrected
From:Cecil Eastman
Date:Wed, 1 Oct 2008 00:34:17 +0000

To all,

The vendor, Van-Again, was very quick and courteous with his reply and, it turns out, that the problem was mine, not his.

I made the mistake of thinking that Ken's kit was identical to the kit Frank Condelli sells, but that's not correct.  Unfortunately, I used Frank's instructions, which calls for a longer return hose, but I had Ken's hose...well...in my hand (oh man, that sounds SO wrong...)

So the moral is this:  be sure that you use the vendor-supplied instructions and accept no substitutes.  Hopefully this thread hasn't caused any confusion.  And pay attention as to whose hose you're playing with.

Cecil
