Ok this has covered the topic. I am going to lock it.

Can you please tell us newbies what shop this was so we can avoid this Bernd character?

Thank you John,

    Evaluation of Service Performed:    Shop charged 9 gallons of oil, 8.3 only holds 6
gallons, hose clamps 30.00 each for 10 clamps. Changed

I have a new interest in this topic since the coach we just traded for has the red Plantmaster hose on it.  I see that this Plantmaster hose and the Gates "Fuel Master Extreme" that is rated for all sorts of fuel including bio diesel have the same inner core "Type C Nitrile Black."  I did see where it's not recommended for an oily environment.    I try to keep my coach free from that.

I wonder if the failure on the one coach was a bad piece of hose or other issue.  I'm going to drive mine like it belongs there unless there are multiple failures reported.

I hope this thread does not turn into a bash Bernd thread.

Rick- I agree with you.  I did have my fuel lines replaced by Bernd in 2015 and so far am having no issues with them.  I will monitor the forum and also my coach for issues.

My research shows nitrile is used in many fuel lines and can be used with B20 but no more.  The changing fuels seems to be the problem for us with older coaches designed to run on diesel fuel.  Fuel is no longer KISS I guess................. ;)
