XRP blue pushlock hoses leaking.? These are on my sonoma I did a 6.0 in. I used all XRP fittings and blue pushlock hose. I bought all of the parts in 07,08 while I was building the truck and I've put 40K on it since completion. But I am starting to smell fuel in the garage and when I started sniffing it's coming from the fuel line up to rail and the fire sleeving it's in has a distinct odor.
Is it possible the hose from those year ranges is not liking the ethanol added to fuels used today. The truck sits a fair amount now that it's retired from my DD.

2X,
What brand did you purchase? Earl's does not recommend using their Super Stock hose with fuel.

DDDDammmit I knew that was going to be the answer even though I didn't want to hear it. I'll google it but any ideas where the parker teflon hose can be found at to purchase at a reasonable price.
