    That's what I use, actually the cloth version from Aeroquip. I use the spiral spring from XRP internally to keep it from collapsing.

    No way. That's all I ever ran . I change mine out every year no matter what. Who's pump? I run a Titan. Has a big suction and makes vaccum . I steered clear of those p&p pumps. Too many problems.

    Goodridge

    We can make you a scavenge hose out of Goodridge PTFE Teflon hose with Kevlar (light weight) or steel outer braid.

    The PTFE is rated much higher on vacuum than a conventional rubber hose. That's why you don't see conventional hoses on a dry sump system.

    The other option is to use a spring reinforcement of some sort. I have seen a number of cars use a push fit style fitting with heavy duty rubber fuel line style hose like you would use on a boat. Not a big fan of hose clamping hoses together on the suction side. Potential spot to suck air.

    Email jb@dragracehose.com if you are interested in having us make you a line.

    we use the XRP hs-79 hose on all our hose needs very flexable has ptfe liner and an abrasion resistant outter shell with stainless wire rubber core has 5 layers in all no question the best hose i have used ever and most professional race teams in all sports are using this. if you want to try this send me an email and i will make you a hose for the cost of materials no labor. take care Darrin
