Lots of pointed effort and emotion into diagnosing a product from a photo

Condescending much? Who brought the vendor into this thread? Oh yeah, hwyeng did. Not me.

Look at the photo I posted, from their web site. Go to their website and look at their photos. Those are non-crimp hose ends. Standard reusable screw together hose ends. No "diagnosing". That's called proper part identification. Google aluminum reusable AN hose ends and compare the photos for the results to the photos on the fuel hose vendor's site.

Zero emotion here, buddy. Just facts.

I posted detailed information and specifications for the benefit of 928 owners, and you want to derail the thread, as your normal habit is, for what reason? To distract people from learning about how the 928 fuel system is connected and what their options are? Why?

The first post contains what people need. I'm moving on.

Your first post was fine....I have no issue with what you did or said.
I think it is really dumb, but that's just my opinion.
......By doing it "your way", you've introduced 8 additional junctions in a late 928 engine compartment, because of the AN adapters and the AN hose ends.....
In my opinion, there's no need for 8 additional places for fuel to potentially leak from....especially using Chinese steel AN pieces.


I do it differently....even my first generation hoses (pictured on my web site) had direct fit metric hose ends....no extra adapters needed, so no additional places for fuel leaks to occur.
And if anyone wants to build direct fit rubber hoses (like in the picture), with these replaceable ends, I've got bins full of them!
However, as I said above, a couple of these hoses leaked (after a couple of "home mechanics") decided to tighten up the already installed and pressure tested ends.
And I decided to make my hoses absolutely Bulvot proof....with crimped fittings and PTFE hose.

Your 2nd post....ripping me and my products apart is not OK.
Those pictures, on my web site, are intentionally of my early hoses....I'm sick of people copying what I do and I have no intention of teaching every Bulvot how to make copies of what I do!
(If you'd ever bought one of my hoses or inquired with someone who has...you'd know this and would not be making a fool out of yourself!)


Look....you do whatever you want.
Build whatever you please.
But mind your own business! (Literally.)
And leave me and my products completely out of your posts.

Your "path to 928 glory" is not through bad mouthing anything I do or make!


Last warning!
The next step gets really ugly, really quick.

I agree ^^^^ and again thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and findings - do not let the bullies dissuade you.

Hoping not to get in trouble I had couplers made to change the sex of the fuel cooler so earlier cars could use 87+ fuel lines and regulators.

I am not a RL vendor so I am not selling these, but I know somebody that might. :-)
