6BTA 5.9 Fuel Cooler Removal Kit - Supply Fitting Installation

Thanks for the video. I have inserted a rubber in-between but now I can change the fittings.

Glad it helped!

They do make ORFS to Metric elbow adapters where you can completely eliminate that banjo fitting you're flexing out of the way and get a hose made slightly longer so the christmas tree of fittings is eliminated. More fittings = more leak potentials. If the metric banjo threads are M14X1.5 then the Adaptall fitting P/N would be 6069-06-14. (if the 90 degree adapter can clear when being threaded in) Any good hose shop can make up USCG approved hoses with ORFS ends. Parker 221FR with 26 series crimp fittings P/N 1JS26-6-6 for the straight end and 1J726-6-6 for the 45 degree end if the hose crimps are 3/8 ORFS size. A hose P/N would be 221FR-JS-J7-6-6-6-X where X=length desired. The hose for this would be all 3/8" hose. What drives the hose size are the metric threads on the pump. Find the thread (M14x1.5 I think) then that drives the rest of the sizes. If the hoses are 1/2" then you'll need to find an adapter that has 1/2 ORFS to M14. Another option is to install a straight ORFS x Metric adapter and have a hose made with a 90 on one side and a 45 on the other. The problem with that is the clocking of the crimp ends would have to be right. It would take test fitting the hose before the hose is crimped then marking the hose and fittings and crimping after fitup. There are a few ways to solve this issue. Seems like you need to invite a good hose shop guy to your location and have this looked at. I used to work at a hose shop where I cleaned up systems like this and it's not hard. Just takes talking to the right people.

That top hose needs to be replaced, much easier

[@SeaboardMarineIncVideos]

Replaced with what? This is a specialty OEM hose. Not theoretically impossible to get made, but not cheap and certainly nothing you can find or order off the shelf. Only a very specialty hydraulic shop could make that hose... Maybe.. And only if they had that crimp on banjo fitting.

@@SeaboardMarineIncVideos If that top hose was rerouted as in replaced with a longer hose say going forward, I would think it would be an easier refit?
