txaggie Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I would highly recommend installing it. I clean mine every 1000 miles and it collects a lot of stuff I wouldn’t want back in the intake. If you have “25” marked on the hoses you might want to inquire about the “35” marked hoses.

Will have to look at the hoses this weekend. It is sitting in the garage somewhere. Thought you upgraded the hoses to the newer PSI and having problems again?

txaggie Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Correct, I am having the issue with the new/upgraded hoses marked “35”. I am unsure how common/rare my experience is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have continued use of mine even if it meant living with the odor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked with them this afternoon and they have another upgraded hose (Gates brand) and they are sending them to me for install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I received in Feb 2021 are Gates, so surprised if they sent something different to you at around the same time. See the photos I posted in this thread.

txaggie Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 No I got the same ones that you did in March 2021, the ones being sent are supposed to be another upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txaggie Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Got the new hoses in yesterday and installed them. So far so good, they are quite different, thicker, not as flexible. Hopefully they fix the problem once and for all,I have attached a photo showing the new hose type (green writing) - Edited February 16, 2022 by txaggie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2k2zx2 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I have an Edge with the 2.0 but went through this issue with my JLT install back in November. They sent me the hoses that the gas fumes easily go through, after 100 miles the cabin air is thick with oil/fuel vapors. I contacted them and they said they would send replacement hoses, but while waiting for them to arrive I went to town and bought some Gates Barricade hoses. The temps were going to drop too far to work on the vehicle when the replacement hoses would arrive. That was done in December and so far we have not had the fume issue come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 IMHO it is a rookie mistake to send non fuel resistant hoses with catch cans. more so with direct injection vehicles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
