I too used those hoses on my 84 Westy (sits higher, no lift required).
You can easily do it on a 91, but recommend 4 jack stands.

So glad I did this, as it is 1 less thing to worry about.

Be sure to follow Ken's instructions, as it helps identify how to flush the system.

John,
The hose from Ken at Vanagain worked well for me on my '91 GL with a KEP
2.2 conversion.
