In all my years of working around engines the one thing that absolutely drives me crazy is barbed hose fittings. This even got worse in recents years as many SVO WVO kit makers would send our their components with barbed hose fittings! Just try to remove a rubber fuel hose from a barbed fitting after is has been clamped down, or not even clamped down. Try to remove it after a few months when the hose has been heated and it is even worse!. You end up having to cut the hose off and if you are not careful you can nick the barb and the new hose will leak.
Do you think I am wound up? Yes I am and my goal in life is now to help stamp out barbed fittings forever! I know these are about all you can buy in most hardware / autoparts stores. I took the time to search across the country to find a company that makes fittings with only a single nipple. These are high quality fittings that I want to pass on to our customers so they can experience the same joy I do. Now you can clamp down a hose, loosen the clamp later, pull the hose off and reuse it! (And yes, all my SVO kits now have these fittings exclusively.
