That's the reason I lost all my fluid, I bet the brutes trying to set my pump timing reefed on my line to access the timing pin and kinked it.

I'd just buy box/pump to -6 jic fittings and run -6 hydraulic hose.

 

[gdctaco]

I can't find one here, I got a -6 compression fitting on the steel line to hose to the box.

16' smokercraft and steel trailer in low gear, almost idled the whole way up!

You have a Cummins did you expect less?

 

[maxamillion2345]

-6 x 16-1.5mm AN

-6 x 16-1.5mm Inverted Flare AN fitting

Just for reference....

Mileage on the last tank, the second tank I've put on this motor.
292 miles for 70litres on 35's which by my math is 17MPG, does that sound right? My Canadian/American conversions might be off.

Sounds about right inline with me and others. Less if you hot rod it around I like to hear the turbo.

Thats about right. I average a consistent 18.

Same hose blew the same way, faaaaaaaaack

 

[gdctaco]

Fixed the hose, continued up to the cottage. Started the truck today to come home and the tach doesn't work.

I wonder what causing your line to blow?
Is it the actual hide rupturing? Or is the connection failing?
Cummins PS pump pressure runs at 1500psi, which isn't that high for compression fittings that are rated well over 2k psi.

I think the steel line is too weak, I'm not using the cummins PS line, you can see the pic a few posts above where the flare broke off, that's right inside the pump port. I'm going to try to find a 90* fitting and a longer hydraulic hose to take the stress off the fitting

Looks like the machining was a little off on the feet for alternator,
