Do you know what system this hose is part of?

See attached photo.  Air? Hydraulic? What am I getting into if I try and replace it myself?  If air, I suspect I need to air up and get the safety stands in place. If hydraulic, once opened up would need to bleed the air our of the system....

As always thanks for your help and guidance.

A wider field of view in the photo would help to place the location on the engine.

Looks like the hose is connected on one end to the air compressor ( I can see the D2 governor).  Where does the metal pipe (other end of hose) go?

Went out a took a wider photo but space is tight. If needed I will lift the bed and get an even wider photo. Just let me know. Appreciate your looking at it.

Chuck, just re-read your earlier message. I will take another picture with the bed lifted and include the other end of the hose. Do not "feel" any air or fluid in the hose which is easy to squeeze. Updated - wider view photo below

So do you guys replace this hose periodically? Hose looks old but do not see cracks? Preparing for a trip to Pahrump then Q the end of this month. If easy, thought I would give it a go, if opening a can of worms, well maybe hold off and let the gang look at it in Q.

If the hose is pliable and not leaking just take a spare and go.

That would be the air intake hose coupling. Most likely you have a 1/4" gap between the pipe and compressor head. Now seeing where it gets it's intake from you can understand why these compressors need a special dryer set up to keep from pumping oil.

Thanks Chuck, Craneman, TGordon, Mike. Do you keep a kit of spare hoses, clamps and hose to hose connectors of various sizes (in order to cut and join existing hoses together) should a failure occur on the road? I have spare check valve, ride height valve, air bag, gen/eng belts & filters, extra coolant/trans/oil/hydraulic fluids but no hoses/clamps or the ability to join two hoses together should a hose leak occur.

His cooling water hoses are solid pipe and come in on the other side of the compressor from what/were we are seeing in these pics.

That hose is aircraft usage, and as stated earlier, is silicone based. If it ain't a leakin', its ok. But, what about the tubing right below it (in the pic) that is pinched off in the clearance bend? There is a tube right above it that appears as it should.

Warbird,

I think what you are seeing is due to the angle of the pic. If you look at the same line in the pic in reply #3 you can tell that the line is not crimped.
