Hey all,

I'm needing a 10mm tank to pump hydraulic hose. My local suppliers are all coming up dry. I tried 3/8" and it would not even come close to going on and I didn't want to chance breaking the nipple on the resevoir. I've searched all over the internet with no luck either. Anybody have a solution?

Thanks,

Did you try putting liquid dish soap inside the 3/8?

Looks like Fastlane has it, I'm sure you can buy less than 5 meters of it though.

gates hose in 3/8" works fine. I've rebuilt SEVERAL SLS systems and never had any issues with SAE hose. both for the pressure, and the return.
