Tape sounds like a good idea. I'll still go to a hose store eventually because it turns out the hose I'm now using isn't much stronger(heat wise) than my old hose🤦♂️. And the ORO steel hose is $100 for like 6 ft when I only need about 20 inches lol I figured id toss in the cooler since I was able to make it fit. I saw
@tworley 's phot of his melted oil filter so I figured 23$ for the cooler is cheap enough for piece of mind. Luckily I don't have any oil spew either, but I was worried about the filter. I've ran it a good amount now and have no issues, just still worried about the hose.
