Do you think engineers made the hose to leak if used properly?
By the way if you use the blue hose with the proper barbed fittings,
aeroquip states you DO NOT need a clamp, if one is used it has a chance to
leak.
instead of contaminating it with a sealer like permatex they suggested and
worked very very well is dawn dish liquid.

Yes Bill, I used the blue Aeroquip hose on my 67 Camaro and liked it. I
"lubed" the fittings with a very thin coat of Permatex before pushing the
hose on. It went on nice and easy, then when the "lube" set up, I knew I
had a permanent fit. The only way to undo that Permatix is to cut the hose
off, clean the fitting on a wire brush, and re-do it, but it sure makes a
solid seal.

Braided hose is traditional and impressive-looking, but a lot of people
prefer Aeroquip blue hose with push-on fittings from Speedway Motors.
Elmo Gillette told me about it and it works fine for me. Anybody else
here use it? The barbed fittings are hard to push the hose onto, but
they never leaked for me.
