If yours has never been replaced, those two hoses can break. The fittings most
likely can be reused. The hoses are not that expensive. A burnt up engine will
cost up to 20 grand. The hoses on my 8v fell apart in our hands. Was lucky to
arrive back home after maiden trip from Georgia. 6v92s have them too.
Ernie- 88PT40- in Texas- new hoses= peace of mind
I think it would be neat if we could know what the Fire Department used. It
would benefit everyone.

interested, email me at racerracer@... and I will find the hose we used. Fire
pumpers sit and pump for days sometimes and the hoses would break off due to
heat exposure in a very confined mid engine doghouse. The hoses we used solved
that issue and would last for years of abuse.
