Hi all. A 35", 7mm (or 5/16" ?), piece of fuel hose, with a ~ 45� face at hose end, fits into intake or exhaust of the Dometic 182 fridge. At 35", with ~ 3" still exposed, I'm pretty sure hose stops at dimples on exhaust tube. Hose doesn't appear to go all the way down to burner inserted into intake pipe. But. It may serve to clean the tubes themselves as you work your way in. The ~ 45� angle on end or hose helped it move along the corrugated interior of intake or exhaust pipe. I pushed hose on to a wood dowel, then shaped end. I used rubber coated hose. Shaping a braided piece of hose may allow bits of the braid to fall into combustion box and may not slide as easily. Lubed hose with a little WD-40 and twisted it L/R as I pushed it in. Neil. -- Neil n 65 kb image Myford Ready For Assembly http://tinyurl.com/64sx4rp '88 Slate Blue Westy to be named.
